Your POV
We trudged through the forest Draco clinging to my hand. "Do you have any idea where he's taking us?" Ron asked from the back and I shook my head. "Hagrid?" I called as I climbed over a tree stump. "Why can't you just tell us?" Hagrid didn't say anything as he stopped in a small area surrounded by large trees. He looked around and I heard battle cries as the centaurs galloped passed us.
"Ive never seen the centaurs so boiled!" Hagrid sounded alarmed which gave me a feeling of unease. "They're dangerous at the best of times." Hagrid informed causing Draco's grip to tighten slightly. "If the ministry restricts their territory anymore-" "they'll have a full uprising to deal with." Gabbie finished and Hagrid nodded.
"Hagrid what's going on?" Hermione asked through forced calmness. "I'm sorry to be so mysterious you five," he gave us a small smile as and I stopped him. "Five? Do you mean Gabbie knows?" He ignored me and went on. " I wouldn't be bothering you at all with it, but with Dumbledore gone i-I'll be getting a sack any day now."
My eyes began to water as Hagrids voice broke. "Gabbie and I just couldn't leave without telling someone about him!" I looked at Gabbie and she looked rather upset. Hogwarts wouldn't be the same without the two of them. Suddenly we heard a loud bit of rustling a few feet in front of us as a large figure turned around. "Grawpie!"
Hagrid said with a smile and I let out a audible gasp. The giant stood at about sixteen feet tall, with grey skin and brown-green eyes. His hair was the color of soil and looked like a mound of land. "Down here you great bafoon!" Hagrid called out as the giant took a few steps forward forcing me to push my friends back.
The giant smashed a bug right above my head causing the six of us to duck. As we slowly stood Hagrid let out a sigh of relief. "Grawpie! I've brought you some company!" The giant smiled down at us before beginning to run towards us. I grabbed Harry's hand as we all ran backwards watching the giant chase us before it was forced to stop.
We were breathing deeply as Grawpie tugged slightly at the rope tying him to the tree." I couldn't just leave him because well, he's my brother." "Blimey!" Ron cried and I examined the giant before releasing both Harry and Dracos hands. "Crystal..." Harry warned as I took one step forward. "Well half brother really." Hagrid corrected as he joined our side.
Grawp bent down in our faces causing Draco to pull me back. Grawp picked both Hermione and I of us up causing Hermione to let out a high pitched scream. "Hagrid do something!" Ron demanded as Harry held Draco back. "Grawp we've talked about this it's not nice to grab is it?" I watched as Ron picked up a large stick and hit grawps leg with it.
Grawp kicked Ron away with his toe as Hagrid continued. "Those are your new friends Hermione," he pointed at Hermione and then to me, "and Crystal." Ron picked himself off the floor, "Grawp!" I yelled and he held Hermione and I in his face." I held out a stern finger and Hermione did the same.
"Put us down." She said sternly and I nodded. "Now." Grawp hesitated before setting us both down and before I could even move Draco had engulfed me in a tight hug. "Are you okay?" He asked frantically as he held my face in his hands. I nodded, "yes I'm fine. He just needs a little discipline." He kissed me and I smiled as we joined the group and Ron was checking on Hermione.
Harry watched the giant, "I think you two have an admirer."I looked back at Grawp who now held the handlebars of a bike. He rung the bell before handing it to me. I hesitated before ringing the bell. Grawp smiled a bit and looked expectantly at Hermione I passed the handlebars to her and she rung the bell. Hagrid smiled with an arm around his daughter.
"He gets his own food and all, It's company he will need when I'm gone." Grawp sat down ringing the bell over and over again. "You will look after him? Won't you?" Hagrid asked and I looked at Hermione who smiled a bit. "Gabbie and I are the only family he's got." Harry nodded. "Of course we will Hagrid."

A memory of me as a baby in my mothers arms as my father stood holding us protectively flashed through my mind and Snape appeared in front of me. "Feeling sentimental Black?" I fought against his spell and was suddenly back in his office. "That's private." I said in between deep breaths. "Not to me. Not to the dark lord if you don't improve."
Snape suddenly rushed forward and leaned down, his hook nose not to far from me causing me to lean back. "Every memory he has access too is a weapon he can use against you. You won't last two seconds if he invaded your mind. How is it you excel in every class but not in a life threatening skill? You're just like your father!"
Snape started to back up, "lazy! Arrogant!" I stood up abruptly my balled fists shaking violently. "DONT SAY A WORD AGAINST MY FATHER!" "Weak!" "I'm not weak!" "Then prove it! Control your emotions! Discipline your mind!" He pointed his wand at me, "legilimens!" "Ack!" I was flooded with memories once more.
First I saw the maze from the tournament last year, Grawp smashing a bug. Then it quickly switched to my father, with my face in his hands, right after we had set him and Buckbeak free. I watched Dumbledore and faux disappear with a blinding light, Draco and I kissing, Voldemort in kings cross, Mr. Weasley being attacked, my fathers mugshot in the papers.
The black mysterious door and a snake like voice whispering my name. I saw and me and father hugging in my grandmothers house. "I may vomit." Snape said from behind me. I pushed him out of my mind with much effort. "Stop!" I pleaded. Snape looked down at me and sighed, "is this what you call control?"
I stumbled across the room, "we've been at it for hours, if I could just rest!" He hurried towards me and I backed against a table, "the dark lord isn't resting!" He gave a look of disgust as he leaned arm way from me. "You and Potter two of a kind, forever complaining about how unfair your life is. It may have escaped your attention, but life isn't fair!
"Your blessed father knew that and so did Potter's in fact they frequently saw to it!" I glared at him, "my father is a great man! And so was Harry's!" He grabbed my sweatshirt and shoved me into the chair. "They were both swines!" Snape pointed his wand at me obviously about to cast the spell again, but this time I stood and as he recited the incantation I yelled "protego!"
Suddenly I saw into my professors mind. I saw what I assume was Snape as a teenager walking down the corridor with a bit of toilet paper stuck to his foot. Everyone laughed at him while he removed it obviously embarrassed. I saw Snape sitting with his knees to his chest against a tree as a group of teenagers walked up to him.
"Come on moony padfoot!" A man who I assume was James said. He looked so much like Harry, he had the same messy hair and the same facial features the only major difference I could find in the two of them was that Harry had bright green eyes. "Expelliarmus!" James cried and a boy next to him with curly black hair smiled, "nice one James!"
Snapes wand flew out of his hand. "Dad? James?" I said while taking a few steps back. My dad took his wand and raised Snape into the air while everyone around him started to chant, "snevillus!" My dad smiled at James, "right who wants to see use take off snevillys trousers?" He smirked as Snape thrashed in the air.
"Enough!" Presents Snapes voice boomed throughout the memory and I found myself stumbling backwards back in his office. "Enough." Snape repeated but quietly this time. I stood and Snape stormed up to me and grabbed the collar of my hoodie. "Your lessons are at an end." "I didn't-" "Get out!"
He dropped my collar and I hurried out of the room still processing everything that had just happened. I ran down the halls towards the Gryffindor common room. I stopped running when I was a good distance away from the dungeons. I heard quiet sobs of a little boy causing me to turn slightly. "What's your name?" I heard Fred call and I turned completely.
The boy replied, "Jasper." and I walked over to them. "It's not as bad as it seems." George comforted. "You can hardly see ours anymore. The pain stops after a while." I crouched down in front of the young Gryffindor. "Hello Jellybean." The twins greeted and I nodded. I smiled at the boy and wiped his tears, "hey Jasper it'll be alright."
I gently took his hand in mine and dapped the blood from it with my sleeve. The fear he originally had in his eyes when he looked at me faded. "Don't worry, everything will be better soon. I promise." "Why are you being nice to me?" He asked and I cocked my head. "W-well everyone says your so mean."
I glanced at the twins who wouldn't meet my eyes and I back at the boy. "People just don't like me because I don't put up with lies or drama." I gave the boy a smile and he gave a small one in return. "Hem Hem!" My smiled faded as I stood in front of the Gryffindor as if to shield him. "As I told you once before Miss Black, naughty children deserved to be punished."
Fred and George stood at either side of me. I glared as Umbitch made her way down the hall. "You know George, I always felt our futures lay outside the world of academic achievement." "Fred, I've been thinking exactly the same thing." I couldn't help but smile at the boys words as I went back to Jasper.

I sat in the o.w.l.s examination room tracing over the letter of the scar on the back of my hand and tapping my foot out of boredom. Me and Hermione seemed to be the only ones done and Umbridge being the brat she is wouldn't let us leave until everyone else finished. She stood in front of the large ticking clock and watched us all intently.
Suddenly a muffled bang interrupted the sound of scratching quills. Everyone turned towards the door in confusion. While Umbridge's smug expression faltered. There was another bang and Umbridge began to walk towards the large double doors. Her pink heels clicked annoyingly on the ground.
When she passed me she glared at me a little longer than she should have. Everyone was now completely turned around and watched as Umbridge opened the doors. A small firework dangled in front of her nose and I smiled knowing exactly what was about to happen. The firework zoomed past her before erupting in blue light above me.
Umbridge was now the same puke colored pink as her shirt, with suppressed rage. She walked out a few steps before loud whoops filled the air. George and Fred flew in on their brooms and threw fireworks into the air. I grinned as all the exam papers were thrown up into the air and everyone cheered. I stood and joined Draco, he laced his fingers in mine and gave a small chuckle at the scene.
Soon after a firework was thrown towards us and small pink hearts filled the air around us. I blushed as George winked at the two of us before tossing more fireworks into the air. The two twins passed each other and high-fived before throwing one at Blaise which chased him. When he ducked out of the way the firework formed a picture of his terrified face on the wall behind him.
I laughed as Crabbe and Goyle were being attacked as well. Filch appeared next to Umbridge in the middle of the room holding a mop. I smiled at their panicked expressions as the twins let off their biggest firework yet. Out of the midst of the red and orange colors a dragons head formed and I couldn't help but notice how similar it was to mine and Dracos patronus'.
It's yellows eyes narrowed and began to chase Umbridge who managed to make it all the way to the door before the large mouth closed around her and destroyed all of the educational decrees in the process. Umbridge squealed loudly as the twins flew passed her. The kids taking the exams, minus Umbridge's little pets, all cheered and followed the two Weasleys out into the courtyard.
Bits of paper littered the air and fireworks were let off, the final one making a large orange 'W' high in the sky. Everyone clapped and cheered, it seemed that everyone was outside now and some of the teachers were clapping as well. I was smiling and cheering too before my knees buckled beneath me, and my scar started to burn causing me to fall backwards.
I saw Dracos smile fade as he looked down probably since my hand was ripped from his. Suddenly I was brought somewhere else. I saw my father, he had his hands tied behind his back and was being interrogated by Voldemort. "I need that prophecy!" Voldemort demanded. "You'll have to kill me." My father replied.
"Oh I will, but first you will fetch it for me! Crucio!" He yelled and my father screamed out in pain. I saw the black door from my dreams and Lucius and Fudge in front of it. Suddenly I was brought back into reality, Harry was bent in front of me while Draco was at my side with my hand back in his. "Dad!" Was all I said and Harry seemed to understand.
As the five of us walked up the staircases Hermione questioned me. "Y/N are you sure?" "Yes Hermione, I saw it! It's just like with Mr. Weasley. It's the same door I've been dreaming about for months only I never knew where I had seen it before. My father said Voldemort was after something, something he didn't have the last time. And it's in the department of mysteries."
"Y/N please listen." I stopped and turned around to face them. "What if Voldemort meant for you to see this? What if he was only hurting Siruis because he was trying to get to you." "So what if he is!" Harry put in. "Am I supposed to just let him die?" I asked. "Hermione he is the only family Harry and I have left!" Hermione looked at the two of us then Draco and Ron.
"What do we do?" Draco asked. I turned and began to run back up the stairs, taking them two at a time. "We'll have to use the floo network." "Umbridge has all the chimneys under surveillance." "I know, but not the one in her office." As we reached the door I pulled out my wand, "Alohamora." The door opened and I hurried in Ron shutting the it behind us. I knelt next to the fire as I threw in the powder.
"Alert the order if you can. Harry and I will go." "Are you mental?" Ron asked. "We will go with you!" Draco put in. "No it's too dangerous." Hermione knelt next to me. "When are you going to get it into your head? We're in this together!" "That you are!" I whipped around to see Umbridge at the door, she was shaking with fury.
About five minutes later Umbridge had me tied down in a chair in the center of the room while her little pets held my friends around the room. Neville was forced in by Blaise, "caught this one trying to help the new girl!" Luna Gabbie Ginny and Neville were added to the trouble. Umbridge bent down, "you were going to Dumbledore weren't you?"I shook my head, "no."
She smacked me hard causing Hermione to gasp and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Draco struggling against Goyles grip. I sucked my teeth, "smack me again and I swear to Merlin I'll-" "You sent for me headmistress?" Snape interrupted and Umbridge straightened. "Snape, yes the time has come for answers whether she wants to give them to me or not. Have you brought the veritaserum?"
"I'm afraid you used up my stores interrogating students, the last of the used on Miss Chang." I glanced at Harry before looking back at Snape. "unless you wish to poison her than I cannot help you." Snape turned to leave but I stopped him, "he's got padfoot! He's got padfoot in the place where it's hidden!" Umbridge glared down at me, "padfoot? What's a padfoot? Well what is it? What's she talking about Snape?"
Snape turned and with the best poker face I have ever seen he said, "no idea." He left and Umbridge began to pace nervously, "very well. You leave me no choice Black. This is an issue of the ministry security, you leave me with no alternative. The Cruciatus curse ought to loosen your tongue." I saw Draco thrashing around desperately now trying to get to me. While Ron and Harry looked furious. "That's illegal!" Hermione protested.
"What Cornelius doesn't know won't hurt him." I braced myself as Umbridge raised her wand. "Tell her Y/N!" Hermione yelled and Draco stopped thrashing immediately. "If you won't, then I will!" Hermione warned. "Where what is?!" Umbridge spat. "Dumbledores secret weapon!" Hermione yelped and Unbridges jaw dropped. "Release her!" She ordered and she untied me but put her wand in my back. "You two, show me where this weapon is."
***
Hermione led the way through the forest Umbridge followed closely behind jabbing her wand in my back. "How much further?" "Not far," Hermione replied. "It had to be somewhere students wouldn't find it accidentally." I grabbed Hermione's hand, "we are going to Grawp aren't we?" I whispered and she inclined her head slightly not looking at me as we went on.
A few moments later we reached the tree where Grawp was SUPPOSED to be. I felt my stomach drop when I noticed a chewed off rope tied to the tree. Hermione glanced at me fearfully. "Well?" Umbridge asked as she circled around us with her wand pointed at me. "Where is this secret weapon?" Hermione squeezed my hand gently.
Umbridge looked in between the two of us before realization crept into her features. "There isn't one is there?" Hermiones hand was shaking slightly, "you were trying to trick me weren't you?" Umbridge was now directly in front of us. Her face was smudge and her hair had a few twigs in it. "You know...I really hate children."
I glared at her, there was a loud snap of a twig and I snapped my head towards the sound. There was a herd of centaurs all armed with bows standing a few meters away. Umbridge let out a frightened squeak and backed into us. She pushed behind Hermione and I and I stepped forward a bit in an attempt to shield Hermione.
"You have no business here Centaur!" Umbridges voice was shaking like crazy. "This is a ministry matter." The centaurs took a few steps forward and armed their bows aiming at the three of us. "Lower your weapons!" Umbridge squeaked. "I warn you under the law, as creatures of near human intelligence-"
I heard the whiz of an arrow leaving a bow and pulled Hermione down as Umbridge casted a shield spell to protect herself. "How dare you!" She blubbered, "you filthy halfbreed!" She pointed her wand at the centaur who fired and murmured a spell causing a rope to shoot out of her wand and wrap around his throat.
The centaur began to squeal and gasp for breath as he fell to the ground. The other centaurs looked horrified and I ran forward falling to my knees. The centaur struggled in front of me and I knew tugging on the ropes would be useless. Hermione soon joined my side, "PLEASE! Please stop it!" I stood up and pulled my hair back with the full intention to hurt her, and very bad.
"NOW ENOUGH!" Umbridge screamed, "I will have order!" I started towards her but stopped in my tracks when I saw a large hand grab the collar of her shirt and lift her up. She began to shriek and scream. The centaurs all rushed forward with their bows drawn and the one who was being strangled, freed himself. They all circled around grawp, poking him with spears.
Hermione pulled me forward and around the crowd as I shouted back, "no leave him alone! It's not his fault! He doesn't understand! Don't hurt him!" They shot him in the arm and Grawps eyes began to water, he dropped Umbridge. He backed up against the tree. The centaurs lifted Umbridge up by the pits "Black, do something!" She ordered, "tell them I mean no harm!"
I glanced down at the scar across the back of my hand. "I'm sorry professor," I looked back up and smirked. "But I must not tell lies." The centaurs then began to drag her away Umbridge screaming in protest and throwing threats around. Hermione gave me a small smile, "we better go." I nodded, "let's go free our friends."
***
Hermione and I ran through the castle and once we reached the north bridge I caught sight of our friends running towards us. I poured on the speed and ran right into Dracos arms. We kissed passionately and when I pulled away, he hugged me for a while and I didn't want to let go but the worry for my dad began to over rule my thoughts.
Ron passed me and Hermione our wands, "how did you guys get away?" Ginny grinned, "puking pastels. It wasn't pretty." Ron smirked, "told them I was hungry wanted some sweets. They took them from me and ate the lot themselves." Hermione looked surprised, "that was clever Ron!" Harry nodded as he clapped Ron's back but I would still see the worry in his eyes.
"It was brilliant!" Gabbie exclaimed. "So, how are we getting to London?" I looked at Harry and we sighed in sync. "Look," Harry began. "It's not that we don't appreciate what you've done for us..." "but we've gotten you in enough trouble as it is." I pulled myself away from Draco and Harry and I began to walk away.
"Dumbledore's army was supposed to be about doing something real!" Neville called after us and we both turned. "Or was it all just words to the two of you?" Everyone was now was staring at Harry and I. "Love..." Draco took my hands in his. "We aren't letting you do this alone." Harry let out a long dramatic sigh. "So how are we going to get to London then?"
I smiled at Luna, "I think Luna knows a way." She nodded, "we fly of course!" Everyone stared at us, "what do you mean fly? We can't take brooms all the way!" Ginny complained. "Who said anything about brooms?" I smirked as I began to run back towards the forest, pulling a very confused Draco with me.
