Chapter twenty two: the patronus charm

"This dream isn't feeling sweet
We're reeling through the midnight streets
And I've never felt more alone"
-song: Ribs by Lorde

"MAKE IT A POWERFUL MEMORY," it was their first D.A lesson since break. Harry walked around the room as he spoke "The happiest you can remember, allow it to fill you up."

Ophelia gently closed her eyes and took a breath. She chewed on her bottom lip while she tried to think of a memory. Her right hand reached up and began to fidget with her necklace that Draco had given her, just a week ago.

She smiled as she remembered the day he kissed her for the first time. She opened her eyes "Expecto Patronum!" She exclaimed as she casted the spell.

She watched as a cat like animal bounced out of her wand and around her. "Brilliant Ophelia! Nice job!" Harry cheered as he walked by her.

Ophelia looked over at Luna as she casted her Patronus. She watched as it danced around the room, making people duck out of the way as it past them.

She furrowed her eyebrows together and looked up at the chandelier hanging above her head. She watched as the jewels started to shake.

Luna's Patronus slowly faded as people began to stop what they were doing. The lights flickered off and on, and the room began to shake. Ophelia inched towards the huddled crowd near the middle of the room.

"What the-" she muttered under her breath as she stood next to Ron. The glass like texture on the wall began to break. Ophelia's eyes widen as she pointed her wand towards the front of the room, like many others were.

Her questions quickly became answered as she heard her least favorite professors high pitched voice from the other side of the wall.

The kids jumped backwards as Umbridge casted a spell, causing the thin wall to blow up.

Ophelia choked back a cough as the dust and wall debris went everywhere. The dirty air began to slowly fade, giving Ophelia a straight view of where Umbridge was standing.

And of course, Draco happened to be right beside her with a smug face. That is until he saw Woodlock. He knotted his brows and clenched his jaw, while staring right at her.

"Get them." Umbitch instructed her 'Squad' of Slytherins.

-

"The hell were you thinking?!" Malfoy spat at the Hufflepuff as he pulled her aside to an empty corridor, away from everyone else. Ophelia rolled her eyes at him, making him fume with anger. "Do you realize what she's gonna do to you and your friends?!" He aggressively held her four arm as he spoke "When are you going to get it through your thick skull that hanging out with Potter is bad news."

She shook her arm out of his grip "Don't call me dumb Draco." She scoffed while trying to walk away from him, but he stepped in front of her.

"I didn't call you dumb." He defended yet he still kept his jaw slammed shut. "But hanging around Potter-"

"No you did. You said I had 'Thick Skull', that's means you think I'm stupid." She straighten out her back "And like I've been telling you, I can hang out with whoever I want."

Draco huffed out a sigh "I didn't mean it. I'm just upset." He ran his hand through his hair as he stared at Ophelia.

"Whatever," She muttered "I'm leaving." she pushed passed Malfoy. Knowing well that she was going to have to go to dentition tomorrow along with the rest of Dumbledore's Army.

      "You're being dramatic Ophelia." Malfoy called out to her "Don't be like that."

      "I like being dramatic sometimes." She turned around for a moment and flipped him off with a smirk on her face.

-

Ophelia gritted her teeth together as she stared down at her red and swollen hand. Her foot was repeatedly tapping on the ground as she continued to write with the blood scaring quill, along with her fellow D.A members.

'At least I'm used to the pain.' She thought as she reflected on her past dentition with the pink toad. Ophelia couldn't think of a teacher she despises more.

Woodlock's eyes flicked up to Umbridge, who was sitting in a large throne like chair at the front of the room. A glare formed on Ophelia's face as her teeth clenched together hard from the pain in her hand.

      She really hated her.

-

      It was known to Draco that Ophelia was now giving him the 'Silent treatment' since their little augmented a few days back. He personally thought she was overreacting about the whole thing.

      The silence was killing Malfoy.

Ophelia sat in front of Draco in the great hall as they began their exams. Her head burned as she stared blankly at the test. She really didn't have any clue to what the answers were, and she no doubt was going to fail. 'Maybe I am dumb.' A small voice from the back of her mind thought. She sighed and anxiously chewed her lip -it was really becoming a habit now- she glanced around the room of students, wishing this could be over.

A loud bang came from outside of the hall. Ophelia's head snapped towards the direction of the sound.

A second noise erupted and Umbridge began to walk towards the front of the hall. Ophelia and her classmates heads turned to the door. Soft murmurers were shared throughout the room about the sound. Umbridge pushed open the doors and stepped out.

      Moments later a firework bursted into the room. Ophelia smiled, knowing exactly who was behind this.

      The students began to cheer as Fred and George Weasley flew into the room on their broomsticks.

      Papers and Fireworks were being thrown around the great hall as everyone beamed and laughed.

       Ophelia watched with wide eyes as one of the twins threw up a large firework type object, making a dragon made out of fire appear.

      Woodlock slapped her hand over her mouth, trying to contain her laughter as it started to chase after Professor Umbridge.

     The students ran after Fred and George once they started to flew out of the huge room, and to the courtyard.

     The crowd began to applaud and cheer to the twins as a big W shined in the sky.

Ophelia's smile was suddenly ripped off her face once Harry -who was standing in front of her- collapsed onto the ground.

"Harry?" She questioned while immediately dropping to the ground to check on him. He didn't say anything back. Ophelia reached her hand and tugged on Rons robe, making him aware of the situation. Hermione turned around and examined Potter.

Potter began to breath heavily as he looked at Granger. "Sirius."
