From the Shadows, to Your Heart.

Battle at the Ministry.

It was hours before we had to take our O.W.L's exams, so I started to think about what happened a few days ago.

-------------------------------------------------------
We were in the Room of Requirement and today we were learning about conjuring Patronuses.Kris wasn't here,something about studying for the exams."Make is a powerful memory,the happiest you can remember.Allow it to fill you up,keep trying Seamus." Harry said as he walked around the room."A full body Patronus is the most dificult to produce,but sheild forms can also be equally against a variety of of opponents.Fantastic Ginny!" Harry said still walking around,I was standing near Luna who was ready to try it,"Remember,your Pratonus can only protect you as long as you focus,Luna." Harry said and she nodded and produced a bunny."Faith." Harry said and nodded to me, "Expecto Patronum!" I said and a transparent snake slithered out, "wow,a snake.That's not steriotypical." Fred said and I laughed, "shut up,Weasley." I said and he scuffed and walked away.As my snake chased Luna's bunny the chandelier started to chake,everyone went quiet and Luna's and my Patrunuses disappered.There were some banging noises but muffled then the mirror wall broke and there was a hole,we raised our wands and waited as a boy and Harry went ove to the hole and looked through.Suddenly Harry pulled him away and the wall exploded,I fell into some glass and looked to see Umbridge,Filch and a bunch of Slytherins.Draco pulled Cho Chang into view and I growled,she gave us away."Get them." Umbridge said and they all came in and grabbed us,Draco came over and helped me up and walked me out."What were you thinking?" he whispered and I sighed, "I was thinking how I actually wanted to learn,for once." I said and he sighed, "You alright?" he asked and I nodded, "I think so." I said and we were all brought to stand in front of Dumbledore's office while Umbridge took Harry and Cho in.

After waiting for awhile Umbridge walked out and told us about our detention,l sighed and went with everyone else to the Great Hall.Apparently Dumbledore fled and now Umbridge is Headmistress,luckily Kris wasn't here,I didn't want her to have detention again.A few days after our detention all the portraits were taken down,or uniforms became more strict and there were speakers everywhere that had Umbridges voice telling us rules.Cho didn't get a detention because she told on us and when we walked out we all walked past her,she tried to talk to Harry but he ignored her and when I passed her I purposly bumped into her.Apparently Kris was helping with Harry's Occlumency lessons,I already know Occlumency cause my dad made me learn awhile back just in case,he said with my gift people would try anything to get to it,so I had to protect my mind.He once said 'Nobosy is meant to know the future,but you have been givin the gift to see it for a reason.You'll do great this Faith.' I sighed remembering what he had said to me when I was only 10 years old.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The O.W.L's exam just ended because well Fred and George set off a numch of fireworks and now we were all outside cheering them on,I watched as Harry fell so I went over.He was having a vision,Kris was with him and they both passed out as Hermione and I ran over."What's wrong?" Hermione asked and I sighed, "Harry must've had a vision,I know that look and Kris was stupid enough to look in on it and it made her pass out." I said and looked around, "We have to move them." I said levitating Kris and helping Hermione carry Harry,damn he's heavy.We got them to a secluded spot and Harry woke up, "Sirius." Harry said and I looked at Hermione, "Sirius? as in Sirius Black?" I asked and Hermione nodded, "He's Harry's godfather." she said and Harry got up,I woke up Kris and we followed Harry somewhere,Harry was explaining to them and now they were arguing."We'll have to use the floo network." Harry said and Hermione argued that they're all under watch, "not all of them.Kris,Faith go change meet us at Umbridges office." he said and we both nodded and went to change.When we got to the office Harry unlocked the door and we went inside,"Alert the Order if you can." Harry told Hermione and Ron."Are you mental,we're going with you." Ron said and Kris smiled, "we are too." she said and I nodded."It's too dangerous!" Harry argued and Hermione got onto the floor, "when are you going to get this,we're in this together." she said and I felt a chill."That you are." Umbridge said and I groaned."Cought this one trying to help the Weasly girl." Draco said bringing Neville in,Harry was tied to a chair and we were all being held by Inquisitorial Squad members,Draco grabbed me from Goyle and I growled at him."You were going to Dumbledore weren't you?" Umbridge asked getting close,"No." he said and she slapped him."You sent for me?" Snape asked and I looked at him,pleading to help,he glanced at me and I sighed and rested my head on Draco's shoulder."Yes Snape,the time has come for answers wether he wants to give them to me or not.Have you brought the Veritiserum?" she asked and Snape looekd bored as ever."I'm afraid you've used up all my stores interrogating students,the last of it on Miss.Chang." he said and glanced at me again."Unless you wish to poison him I assure you I would have the greatest sympathy if you did.However,I can not help you." Snape said and I sighed,before Snape could leave Harry spoke up."He's got Padfoot.He's got Padfoot at the place where it's hidden." Harry said and I raised an eyebrow,Padfoot? I guess that means Sirius."Padfoot? What is Padfoot? What is he talking about Snape?" Umbridge asked and he turned around, "No idea." he said and walked out."Very well,you give me no choice,Potter. As this is a issue of Ministry Security you leave me with no alternative.The Crusioutis curse ought to loosen your tongue." she said and Hermione fought against Crabbe, "That's illegal." she said and Umbridge glanced at her, "What Cornelius doesn't know,won't hurt him." she said putting the picture of the Minister flat on the table covering it.She raised her wand at him and I glanced at Hermione, "Tell her Harry!" she yelled and Umbridge looked at her, "Tell me what?" she asked not moving her wand,"Well,if you won't tell her where it is,I will." Hermione said and Umbridges eye twitched a bit."Where what is?" she asked,"Dumbledore's secret weapon." she said and I was confused."Very well,take me to it." she said and Crabbe let Hermione go and Harry was untied,they left and I sighed.I glanced at Kris and then Ginny. "Kris." I thought and we were now talking in our minds,

"Yea?"

"I need you to get Ginny to give Crabbe some puking pastels,she's cound to have some."

"Okay."

I watched as Ginny offered it to Crabbe and moved out of the way,Crabbe started to puke and I made a face,the others ran out and Draco let me go." Be careful." he whispered as I left and I nodded and ran out too.We found Hermione and Harry on the bridge leading to Hagrid's hut."How'd you guys get away." Harry asked and Ginny smiled, "Puking pastels,it wasn't pretty.It was Kris and Faith's idea." Ginny said and I shrugged."It was brilliant!" Neville said looking at us and I laughed, "so how're we getting to London?" he asked and Harry looked at us all."Look it's not that I don't appreciate all that you've done,all of you.but,I've got you into enough trouble as it is." Harry said walking past us to get to the castle."Dumbledore's Army is about doing something real,or was it all just a waste to you?" Neville said and Ron stepped up, "Maybe,you don't have to do this all by yourself mate." Ron said and Kris smiled,"it'd be easier with friends,Harry." she said and Harry sighed."So,how are we going to get to London?" Harry asked and Luna smiled, "we fly of course." she said and I raised an eyebrow.Luna took us to the Forest and we came upon these weird horse-like creatures, "wow." I said and Kris looked around, "what? what is it?" she asked and I looked at her, "you don't see it?" I asked and she shook her head, "nope."she said and Luna came over."They're called Thestrals.Only people who've seen death can see them." she said and I looked at one of them,they were cute in a creepy way."I still see nothing." Kris said with a sighed and I rolled my eyes and brought her over to one,I patted it and it sat down and I helped Kris up."Okay,it looks like you patted thin air.But I'm actually on something?" she asked and I nodded and got on one.We started to fly and I held on for dear life,they were really fast.

Once we were in the Ministry we went to the Department of Mysteries.When we got off the elevater there was one black door at the end of the hall."This is it." Harry said and we walked over to it,all of us had our wands out just in case.When we went inside there were rows and rows of these little glass balls that were glowing a blue color."Lumos."I muttered and the tip of my wand lit up,we walked down a little bit and then there was a noise.We turned to see nothing so Harry went to find the right row and we followed as he counted.When Harry reached it he turned to us, "He should be here." Harry said and I sighed, "It's a trap." I muttered and felt somebody tapping me, I turned to see Neville and he pointed to a shiny ball and under it was a plaque with Harry's name on it."Harry,it's got your name on it."Neville said and the ball grew lighter,Harry came over and picked it up.I saw a dark figure out of the corner of my eye and turned, "Harry!" Hermione said and he turned too.The figure was dressed in all black and had a silver mask on, a Death Eater."Where's Sirius?" Harry asked and the figure kept walking towards us."You know,you really should know how to tell the difference.Between dreams and reality." the figure said and used his wand to take off his mask.The familiar blonde hair gave away that it was Lucius Malfoy,Draco's father."You saw only what the Dark Lord wanted you to see.Now hand me the Prophecy." He said, "You do anything to us and I'll break it." Harry said and I glanced at the glowing orb and back to Lucius.I heard a shrill laugh and looked to see Bellatrix Lestrange.I glanced at Neville beside me and he was as stiff as a board,I could sense Kris behind me and I stiffened ready to fight."He knows how to play! Itty,bitty,baby Potter." she said and Neville moved up a bit, "Bellatrix Lestrange." he said and she smiled."Neville Longbottom is it? How's mom and dad?" she asked with a smirk, "Better now that they're about to be avenged." Neville said raising his wand at her,Kris grabbed his arm and made him stop while Bellatrix raised her wand at us and I tensed more and stood in front of Kris,if I had to I'd take a spell for her.Kris is too much of a good person to have to deal with this,she's very brave."Now lets,everybody just calm down.Shall we? "Lucius said looking at us,"All we want is that Prophecy." he said pointing slightly to Harry's hand."Why did Voldemort need me to ome and get this?" Harry asked and I glanced at him,why is he challenging them? "You dare speak his name." Bellatrix whispered, "YOU FILTHY HALF BLOOD!" she yelled, "it's alright,you're just a curious lad aren't you." Lucius said."Prophecys can only be retrieved by those about whom they are made,which is lucky for you." he said and I saw more Death Eaters walking towards us and I raised my wand more."Haven't you always wondered? What was the reason for the connection between you and the Dark Lord,hmm? Why he was unable to kill you,when you were just an infant.Don't you want to know the secret of your scar? All the answered are there,Potter.In your hand." Lucius said as the Death Eaters closed in and we all moved in together into a circle.Kris was next to Neville and I was facing two Death Eaters."All you have to do,is give it to me.And I can show you eveything." he said trying to tempt Harry.I was ready to shoot out the first curse that came to mind,"I've waited 14 years." Harry said and I cursed under my breath,if he was about to give up now I was going to curse his ass."I know." Lucius said and there was a slight pause, "I guess I can wait a little longer.Now!" Harry said and I pointed at the Death Eaters, "Stupefy!" we all yelled and they flew backWe all started to run for the door and it was like a maze,the Death Eaters were appearing in something that looked like smoke.I lost Kris while running and soon I was alone,"Shit!" I whispered and turned a corner,when I did I founda Death Eater. He fired a curse at me and I blocked it, "Protificus Totalus!" I shot at him and he fell back and froze,I leaped over him and started to look for the others,on the way I fought a few Death Eaters and by now my lip and head was bleeding and I'm sure I had a few bruises.I saw Kris and watched as she fought a Death Eater, "Stupefy!" she yelled and he flew back but he got up and shot a curse at her,she blocked it and casted Levicourpus on him and flew back lord knows how much,I ran over and smirked."That was kickass." I said and she laughed,we started to look for the others and soon found Neville and Luna.While running we ran into Ginny,Harry,Ron and Hermione.We watched as a Death Eater came at us and Ginny raised her wand, "Reducto!" she yelled and it hit him,and after the large blast the Prophecys started to fall down from the shelves."Get back to the door!" Harry yelled and we all started to run for it.

We made it to the door but there was no floor there so we fell and then when we saw the floor we stopped above it then fell down."Ow." I said getting up,I searched for Kris and found her near Ron.There was a stoneheadge like things and a veil,from the veil I heard some whispers and looked at it.Ron said something but I was too distracted by the veil to say anything,"Those voices.Can you tell what they're saying?" Harry asked and I knew I wasn't alone with this one."There aren't any voices,Harry.Lets get out of here." Hermione said and I walked next to Luna."I hear them too." Luna said and I nodded, "I can too." I said and walked closer."Harry,it's just an empty archway.Please,Harry." Hermione said and I heard a noise.The familiar pain set into my head and I knew what was coming,

-----------------

The Order came and we were all fighting,Sirius was killed.Bellatrix Lestrange fled and Harry ran after her.Voldemort appeared.So does Dumbledore.They fight.Voldemort gets into Harry's head.Voldemort leaves.Minister comes in.

----------------

I was now standing behind Harry and tthe others when the Death Eaters came in,I raised my wand too and then it was all black because they were flying around us.I tried hitting them but it was hard to do so,I was grabbed and then when it all cleared Harry was alone and all of us were being held by Death Eaters.All I could see was Neville being held by Bellatrix across from me and next to him was Kris held by somebody I don't know and all I could feel was a wand poking my throat.Harry got up and looked around,Hermione was next to me and Luna was on my other side,I heard Lucius laugh as he walked up to Harry."Did you actually believe,that you were actually naive enough to believe that you stood a chance against us?" he asked and I growled and my capturer laughed a little."I'll make this simple for you, Potter.Give me the Prophecy now,or watch your friends die." Lucius said and my eyes widened,I didn't care about dying,it was Kris I cared about.I made my face go blank and showed I wasn't afraid,"Don't give it to him Harry!" Neville said and Bellatrix shushed him.Harry handed it to him and then the Order came in.It was silent as Sirius Black walked up behind Lucius, "Get away from my godson." he said and then punched Lucius.More Order members appeared and my capturer was gone,Lucius tripped and the Prophecy broke,they were trying to get us out but I didn't want to go,I saw Lupin,he was my favorite DADA teacher.I spotted Bellatrix and shot a curse at her,she saw me and smiled.Oh,shit.we started to fight until Lupin came over and helped me,she got distracted and left,"Faith,you have to get out of here!" Lupin said and I looked around."Where's Kris?!" I asked and he sighed, "she's already gone,now go!"he said and there was a loud bang and all I heard was a killing curse being fired and Sirius falling behind the veil and disappearing.It seemed like everything went quiet and I watched as Lupin grabbed Harry before he could go.I saw Bellatrix smile wickedly and leave,Harry ran after her and I followed,I know what's going to happen and I need to help.

"I killed Sirius Black!" I heard Bellatrix singing as I chased Harry,I don't know where the others are and frankly I didn't care at the moment,I had to get Harry."Harry!" I yelled and he didn't stop."He's coming to get me!" Bellatrix kept singing, "Crucio!" Harry yelled and I froze as it hit her and she fell,he was standing over her and I watched."You've got to mean it, Harry." I heard a cold voice say and my breath hitched in my throat,"she killed him,she deserves it." the voice went on, "you know the spell Harry." it went on nd then, he appered.Voldemort,in the flesh,I hid behind a piller and had my wand raised just incase,I was frozen.To see him in the flesh is terrifying.I sensed someone and turned to see Kris,my eyes widened and I shooed her away,she shook her head and came closer.I grabbed her shirt and pulled her close, "are you nuts?! he could've found you and killed you!" I thought to her and she glared at me,"that same goes for you!" she thought back and I growled lightly and let her go.Dumbledore appeared in a fireplace and Kris gasped a little and I held her back,"It was foolish of you to come here tonight,Tom." Dumbledore said addressing Voldemort with his true name.They talked some more and then started to fight,a curse came our way and I pushed Kris out of the way and jumped away too.Harry spotted us and he mouthed 'get out!' he said and I nodded,I pushed Kris towards a fireplace and she went in and disappeared,I went in too and it felt as if I was spinning and then it stopped and I crawled out to see I was in the Slytherin common room,it was late so nobody would be up.I got up and walked out and all the way to Dumbledore's office,when I got there the Order and everyone else but Harry and Dumbledore was there.I felt weak and tired and I got onto my knees and Kris ran over, "Faith,you okay?"she asked and I sighe, "Tired and in pain, you?" I asked and she smiled, "same." she said and I nodded and everything went black.

I woke up in the Hospital Wing and sighed,"Oh my goodness,you're awake.Gave everyone a scare you did." Madame Pomfrey said and I laughed lightly, "I bet I did." I said and she checked me all over, "you're fine,you lost alot of blood from that head wound and took quiet a beating." she said and I nodded, "you're free to go." she said and I walked to the common room and changed into my school uniform.There was a Dailey Prophet there and I began reading.So everything was back to normal, and it's the last day of school now.I went into the Great Hall and sat down,after the feast I went and found Kris,she hugged me tightly and I laughed, "Still kinda bruised Kris." I said and she let go, "Sorry." she said and I laughed, "it's fine."I said and spotted Draco,I smiled and waved a little and he came over, "Hello,Kris.Can I steal Faith from you a minute." he said and she nodded and skipped away,we went out to the Black Lake and walked around."So,you went to the Ministry too?" he asked and I nodded, "and I got a beating doing so as you can see." I said and he chuckled, "I thought I told you to be careful?" he asked and I nodded,"and you should know I'm not one to follow rules very much." I said and he chuckled again."I'm glad you're alive." he said and I nodded, "I'm glad I'm alive too." I said and laughed. "I should go,we have a train to catch tomarrow." I said and he nodded, he leaned down and kissed me,I kissed back and then left.Once I got to my room I went straight to bed still tired and sore from those few days ago.
