A key
Harriet raced towards where she felt her twin bond tugging her. Harry had a fit during his History of Magic exam, it was another vision from that dead beat no nose bastard. Moving towards one of the first floor's classrooms that the bond led her to she burst in just to Harry loudly say, "Get to the Department of Mysteries, so we can rescue Sirius!"
"You will not break into most highly protected department of the ministry anytime soon!" she retorted while closing the door and taking her wand and casting privacy charms on the door for good measure. "But you saw he got Sirius in there we need to save him!" Harry protested. Ron and Hermione had doubtful expressions as they looked at Harry.
"Harry, it is not our job to save the day every time shit hits the fan! moreover we need to know if that bastard didn't feed us some fake memory he conjured up and headmaster never let Sirius exit Grimmauld. There is a good chance this thing is a trap and I have a clue what that room with crystals balls are so you need to calm down!" Harriet reached for her brother's shoulder and held him in place and looked directly into his eyes. "Deep breath. In. Hold. Out. In. Hold. Out. That's it. Are you hurt? how is your headache? did you go to hospital wing and had Madam Pomfrey look at you?"
Harry closed his eyes and leaned on Harriet's shoulder and drew her into a loose hug. The touch grounded Harry and he clamed down. The fear and shock and desperation slowly left him. He shook his head at Harriet's last question knowing better then lying to his twin. This Hogwarts year has been especially hard then any of the years, even more so then participating in dead tournament. What's with Voldemort having a functional body and sharing a mind due to some connection, Umbridge's torture with that weird quill, Snape's Occlumency lessons, and worst of all the understanding that adults are not going to do what is need because why would they? There is perfectly good 15 year old teen savior to save the day even if Harriet thinks the opposite.
"You know what mate? Harriet is right, you need to see Madam Pomfrey once and we can plan after that we having been stressing for last few months due to O.W.L.s and who-know-bastard sending a cryptic-nightmarish-messages to trap you in ministry when you are exhausted is very much likely then Sirius getting Kidnaped tortured in ministry of magic and we will inform Snape or send a owl towards Headmaster and wait. With Umbridge it will be hard to do much." Ron backed up Harriet as he looked at how tired his best mate looked.
"Right so lets go to Hospital wing we can plan as we go there. I learned a spell that will make eavesdroppers hear only some common weather talk, it is a piece of excellent magic and really helpful!" Hermione started and made way towards the door and urged others to move along. Harry signed internally about the lost battle towards his loved ones and warped an arm around his sister and followed the enthusiastic Hermione as she cast the spell and lead way towards the hospital wing.
"Lets send a Patronus message or use the mirror to find if Snuffles is in danger or in Girmmauld. The mirror first. Do you have it with you?" Harriet asked Harry who shook his head. " Its in my trunk." Harry said, the mirror was used by both Harry and Harriet whenever they feel like catching up with Sirius and talk in general. Harry borrowed it last weekend and Harriet hadn't had planned to talk to Sirius during the exams.
"Then me and Ron can go to the common room together and we will contact Snuffles as soon as we get the mirror. Then we will regroup in kitchens excusing that we are just going for some snacks after exams or for picnic." Hermione suggested, Ron made a agreeing sound. "You guys should take The Cloak and Map while you are at it. Oh! Harriet you where talking about some kind of lead on what that Room from the nightmares is. What did you find out?” Harry asked as they made way into the Hospital Tower.
“I found out that the crystals balls are actually Prophecy Records. Whenever a seer makes a Prophecy and someone who witness it will need to come forward and give the memory to record it the Hall of Prophecy were kept under high security by the Department of Ministry. I came up on this information while researching for one of my divination projects with Luna last night as break from continuous studies for the O.W.L.s.” Harriet explained with vigor only belonging to bookworms like Hermione and Ravenclaws. Harry still wonders how Hermione convinced The Hat to place her in Griffindor instead.
“Luna! see this, there is a place in the ministry where prophecies are being stored! Do you have any idea where we can get more information? maybe we can get our hands on some Prophecies that have already been fulfilled and study them. That would be exciting to research!” Harriet gushed. Luna ever the one with far away look surprisingly focused for a moment to say, ”I suppose they store them in same place as where they keep mysteries after all Prophecy are mysteries until they become true.” And returned to her drawings.
Harriet blinked few times at the most straight forward reply that Luna ever given since they have knew each other. “The Department of Mysteries.” she murmured under her breath and searched for another divination book that may contained more on how these records being made. What she found out maybe the key to question of what exactly The Order and Voldemort is after.
“So, the place you guys saw is Hall of Prophecy? Why is Voldy after a Prophecy?” Ron asked with disgust particularly aimed at the divination related subject. “I mean The Weapon that The-death-defying-great-cockroach is after a Prophecy?” Ron defended himself when Harriet narrowed her eyes when his apparent hate for the magical subject came out unintentionally.
“Ron is right. How is a Prophecy a great Weapon? It doesn’t make sense. Why is he after a Prophecy in first place?” Hermione asked as she frowned. Ron observed that the look meant Hermione is trying to see the logic of the situation.
“We can discuss about it later after making sure that Sirius is safe. Now lets move, you guys are coming straight back here if things are bad. If things are good then we will regroup in the kitchens.” Harry reminded and everyone nodded before dividing towards there destinations
