"Okay. Chop chop. Your in MY world now boys!" I crossed my arms, smirking at Crabbe and Goyle. Zambini and Draco let go of the girls, smirking wildly. They even laughed. "Let go! NOW!" Stupid gits hesitated.

"Better let goooo!" Draco sang, rocking back and forth on his heels. They seemed scared. "Three!"

"Two!" Blaze smirked, joining in. He ain't half bad. Thank you DA!

"One!" Ginny and Ron chirped, poor Neville couldn't breathe and therefore couldn't join in the fun. They did not let go.

"Tut tut! I'm disappointed!" I sighed, taking Draco's wand. I walked to Umbridge's desk. "Watch out!" I smiled innocently, then shouted a loud spell. "Bumbardum!" The desk exploded and all of our wands were released. I snagged mine, aiming directly for Goyle, who finally looked scared. "Last warning! And may I remind you, we're in Gracie world, where I rule everything!" No response. "Okay. You asked for it! Reducto!" I sent him flying backwards, he hit the wall and fell unconscious.

"Ouch!" Blaze snickered, watching him. Mione and Ginny laughed while Malfoy smirked, kicking him. I giggled, then turned to Crabbe. "Going to chicken out again?" Blaze teased, making Crabbe shake his head. I shook my own head, getting ready for my next spell.

"Hm. Anyone remember the one Dad and James used on Snape?" I asked, looking around. Mione raised her hand shyly.

"I do. But Gracie, I don't want to see that! And it's mean!"

"Don't care! Close your eyes! What is it?" She walked over, whispering it in my ear. "Thank you!" I looked at him with my best evil grin. "Those of you with virgin eyes may want to look away!" I snickered, watching Neville's face pale. Ron started cackling, along with Blaze and Draco, however he did cover Ginny's eyes. "Levicorpus!" My eyes flew shut as I said the incantation, followed by the laughter of the guys. I held out the wands and when they were all gone, I dropped Crabbe. "Lets go!"

We took of running, leaving the school. We ran across the grounds and towards the woods. Grawp's head stood above the trees. "What the bloody hell?" Draco asked, looking quite scared.

"It's a giant! Duh! Now, go back to the castle and you two pretend we knocked you out too!" I commanded, heading towards the trees with Mione and Harry's wands. Next thing you know, Grawp starts screaming.

"Make Gracie sad! Lying bad!" Then he disappeared, returning with Umbridge in his hands. I giggled, until the arrows came flying. What in the world? A few minutes later, Mione and Harry came running. I handed them their wands.

"Centaurs. Took. Umbridge!" Mione gasped, eyes wide. I laughed, then remembered why we are in this mess in the first place.

"Dad! How are we going to get there?"

"We fly of course!" I jumped, seeing Luna for the first time. I shook my head. They aren't going. It's bad enough I know Harry will be going, let alone the rest of them. He's my dad. I need to save him.

"You mean Gracie and I fly of course." Harry corrected, sounding firm. A round of protests sounded. "Look guys, we really appreciate it, but to put you all in danger, we can't do it."

"He's right. Every year, it's something with us. Someone is always in danger. And it's not happening. He's already got my dad, he's not getting ahold of you all too!" I sighed, looking back at the gang. No change. They all looked hard core determined.

"Did everything you say in the DA mean nothing to you?" Neville asked, his voice barely a whisper. I instantly felt bad. But still, my answer was a no.

"Of course it did. And I have faith in every one of you! As a matter of fact, I know you all can take care of yourself. But what if they took you captive as motive? What if they double teamed you and something did happen to one of you?"

"We could never forgive ourselves!" Harry finished, taking the words right out of my mouth. Ginny and Mione scoffed, Luna and Neville rolled their eyes, and Ron laughed.

"Haha! Funny!" Deadpan. "Don't be thick. We're coming!"

Merlin! "No!"

"Gracie give up! We are coming! The question is, how? We can't fly brooms all the way to-" Neville was cut off by Luna.

"Not brooms. Threstrals silly!" She smiled, pointing to the tree line. I smiled, nodding. "Only people who have witnessed death can see them. Neville, you can ride with me if you like?" He nodded, following her. I looked at Harry in shock, he shrugged, and led me over.

"Who are you taking?" I asked, leading two threstrals. He frowned, crossing his arms.

"I thought we were riding together?"

"As much as I would love to, they can't serge threstral, Mione is terrified of heights, and Ron is a big baby as well. They need us. I'm thinking you take Ron, because I'm pretty sure, the three of us girls are small enough to fit on one threstral, me up front, Mione in middle, Gin? You good in the back?"

"Sure. As long as you promise not to let me fall. I can't tell if I'm slipping!" She smiled, walking towards me. Mione followed hesitantly. Luna already had herself and Neville seated, waiting patiently. "Lets go!" I nodded, taking my seat. I pulled Mione up, an Ginny hopped on like a pro, but kept herself close to Mione.

"Hold onto Mione and Mione hold onto me!" I called over my shoulder, watching Ron climb up awkwardly. Once everyone was seated, we took off flying there immediately. We ran through the halls, and for some reason, the whole building was empty. I ran the familiar hallways, climbing into the lift. No one said a word until we reached the department. "Did you get a good look of what row?" I asked, stopping at the entrance. Harry nodded, running forward. We all broke into a run, following him.

"It's to quiet!" Harry started, stopping at an isle. "Something's wrong. This is it! This is where he's supposed to be!" I nodded, looking around. Footsteps sounded and we all whirled around, confusion evident on all our faces. Hello Potter! So we meet again. Ah, and my dear cousin! Look Bellatrix! She kept the scar!" Lucious laughed, watching each of us. He and Lestrange were the only two to take their hoods down, but we all know who's here. Those two, Rookwood, Crabbe and Goyle senior, so on and so forth. I bet even Pettigrew is here.

"Yeah I did. Actually kind of like it. I suppose I have you all to thank for that!" I smirked, crossing my arms. Bellatrix's eyes landed on Neville.

"Neville Longbottom! Tell me, how are your parents?" She cackled, infuriating him. But you see, he's my pupil. And I've taught him well. Therefore he knows what he's doing.

"Better now that they're about to be avenged!" He yelled, lunging for her. He tackled her, and in the shock he caught her, tackling her to the ground. Lucious pointed his wand at Neville, but I casted Expelliarmus while Ron and Harry grabbed Neville. I shoved the girls behind me, then, I finally understood while we are here. Harry's prophecy.

"Harry! Come here! Now!" I whispered, never taking my eyes off of it. He walked over in confusion, so I pointed, quickly turning to Lucious. "Harry grab it now! Be very careful!" I eyed Lucious, shoving everyone back behind me. Especially Harry, though I could feel them pushing forward.

"Smart girl!" Lucious cooed, smiling at me. He actually looked a bit proud. Pft. Like I want his approval. "Now you just have to be smart enough to hand it over."

"After I make sure I have this all right. It was a trick. But you see, I checked the house, and the burrow. No one was home. Should have been clue number one, but I lost it for a bit. I wasn't thinking clearly. Only Dad should have been missing. I didn't take the others into account. You lured us here because only the focus of the prophecy can really control it. Correct?"

"Yes! Yes!" Bellatrix smiled evilly, nodding at me encouragingly. "Go on girl, go on!"

"Hold your threstrals! I'm going! So, you needed Harry to grab the prophecy because Tom-"

"Use his proper name!" Bellatrix screeched, I rolled my eyes.

"Now now Bellatrix. Let her speak. We underestimated her, the question is, by how much?" Lucious smirked, cocking his head to the side. I smiled wickedly, continuing with my story.

"Because Tom needs it. What for?" I asked, ready to hear the answer.

"Didn't you ever want to know why he couldn't kill Harry that night?" Pft. It was old magic. Lilly loved Harry so much, she was willing to die for him. That's why Riddle couldn't kill him. "Don't you want to you what you have to do with this all? How it's going to end?" Now this part caught my attention. I bit my lip, looking over my shoulder at the prophecy in Harry's hand. "See you do want to know. All you have to do is give me that prophecy!"

"Don't think so. But we can discuss it! It's time for negotiations. First, I want to know where the family really is. Then I'll decide whether or not to consider giving you the prophecy!" I smirked, crossing my arms defiantly.

"Itty bitty Black knows how to play!" Bellatrix smirked, laughing at me. Harry stepped forward, wrapping an arm around my waist. "Awe! How sweet!" She teased, but I could see the envy in her eyes. I stepped forward, playing on that weakness.

"I see it you know. The envy. The hatred. You want a relationship. And I know who with. But you can't have it, can you? The thing you strive for most. You've never felt true love, all because the one you care for, doesn't believe in love!" I smirked. My voice was low, calm, steady, taunting. Her jaw twitched. Her eyes narrowed, she was angry. Good.

"Enough!" Lucious snapped, glaring at me. "Bellatrix! Stop this foolishness! You're letting a child play you! What would the Dark Lord think?" He hissed, giving me another opening. I began to circle her, all eyes on me.

"That's the problem. Isn't it Bellatrix? Poor Tom doesn't think about you, or anyone. Unless it concerns their death. But you want more. You want his attention. You want his love. After all, your human. Just like the rest of us. You have the same feelings, same needs as the rest of us. But the difference, your needs, will never be met!"

That's all it took. She lunged at me. "Now Harry! Go!" I shouted, making them run. They don't have my family, that's clear. Now it's my job to get my friends and loved ones out of here safely. "Reducto!" I sent several shelves flying, blocking the path the gang took. This left me corned by at least twelve deatheaters.

"Nice tactic cousin! I have to hand it to you, that was brilliant. Identifying and playing our own weaknesses against us. But not good enough. They won't leave you. They'll stay behind to save you, how do you plan on getting out of that one?" Lucious smirked, he and I circling each other, but I still had his wand. Bellatrix and the others are my problems right now.

I magnified my voice. "I swear! None of you are to stay! Get out! It's a trap! Get that damn prophecy out of here!" I snapped, then used the counter. "Game, set, match!" I smirked, then casted a charm. I was against a wall, they were all right in front of me. "Bumbardum!" They all went flying and I took my opportunity. I was back with Harry in minutes.

"Thank Merlin!" He sighed, grabbing my hand. We found Ron, what was on him, I have no clue. Neville was passed out next to him Mione was crying over him, and Ginny was no where to be seen.

"Stay here!" I commanded, running away. I went to find Ginny. Two death eaters had we cornered, and she was looking panicked. "Reducto!" I sent, is that Rookwood? Ha! Told you he'd be here! Anyway, Ginny took care of twit number two. "Go! Down on the end. Tell Harry where I am, but not to come. I'm ending this!" I took off running, but as I turned a corner, I was grabbed. One arm wrapped tight around my waist, another over my mouth, a second person held a wand to my head. Well dang.

"Can't weasel your way out of this one, can you?" He asked, speaking through his teeth. I smirked cus guess what! I can! I jumped, swinging a smooth karate kick at Bellatrix's arm, sending her wand flying. I then grabbed Lucious' arm, bending it at an awkward angle behind his back. He was not getting out of this hold. Where all this came from, I have no clue. And the other ten death eaters are coming, there's one of me and despite contrary beliefs, they're not as stupid as you'd think! They won't fall for the same trick twice.

Either way, I was feeling cocky. "What was that Malfoy?" I smirked, ignoring the people watching. Some looked amused, others not so much. The gang came running, causing a distraction. "Go back! I've go it! Get out! Now!"

I was hit with a spell, the jelly legs jinx I think. Lucious spun around, catching me before I fell. I was in the same position, except this time, I had eleven wands pointed at me. "Give me the prophecy Potter! Otherwise, she dies!" I shook my head frantically, my eyes wide. I'd rather die than give Tom Riddle the information he needs to win the battle! No! Harry no!

He outstretched his arms, stepping closer. Lucious snatched his wand from my pocket, letting go of my mouth to grab it. "No Harry!" He was about an inch away when the doors burst open.

"Get the hell away from my daughter!" Dad bellowed, the whole order swept in and a battle broke out. Lucious dragged me up the stairs, glaring at me. "Hey! Get back here!" He and Harry chased after us while everyone else fought. I was just frustrated my this point.

"Oi! I'm about to start using words no little girl should use of you don't let go of me! I'm done with this!" I snapped, kicking at him.

(A/N sorry if the curse words defend anyone but remember, a deatheater is trying to kill her. She's not a happy person right now!)

"Go ahead!" He snapped, dangling me over the edge of the stairs. Now I'm kind of panicking.

"Damn you! I can't even think of any words! Now I'm to concerned about whether or not I'm going to live or die! Stupid asswipe!" I snapped, watching my feet dangle. "Shit! I don't like this, I don't like this, I DON'T LIKE THIS!" I yelled, making everyone in the room turn to look. The order was winning. It was only Lucious and Bellatrix left.

Bellatrix ran past Harry and the prophecy broke when he dropped it. Everyone stopped breathing but Bellatrix, and no one could hear over her screams. "There's no use in keeping her now!" She spat, glaring at me. I kicked and screamed and yelled every profanity I know, lady like or not, I used every defense mechanism I could think of, but I didn't have anything to push off of or he'd drop me if I carried it out.

"Put her down!" Harry yelled, running towards me. Dad and Uncle Lupin were at the ready downstairs. I shuddered, looking down.

"Harry stay back! I don't want anyone hurt because of me!" Arresto momentum. I can save myself. I can do it. "I'll tell you the same think I told Umbridge. Do you worst!" I sneered, and the next think you know, I'm falling. "Arresto momentum!" I slowed down considerably. Then I noticed it. The green light from Bellatrix's wand, aimed at Dad. "No! Protego!" I lost control of the spell and everything went black. I did what I came here to do. I saved Dad. That's what matters.

********Harry's POV*********

I watched Gracie fall face first on the ground, full speed. I screamed loudly, them glared at Bellatrix. Hermione, Maxie, Lupin, and Ginny ran to her while everyone else waited in silence. I was afraid to move. Hermione broke into sobs as well as Maxie. No. No no no no NO! Ginny sat up, running to Molly and Arthur, tears pouring down her face. Even Luna wasn't smiling, she was crying.

"She's not breathing." Lupin croaked, his eyes bloodshot. Sirius dropped to his knees, I stood frozen rigid. Ron was the only one moving. More yelling. Everyone else stood still, crying or in shock.

"You killed my sister! My baby sister! I'll kill you! I'll bloody kill you you bitch!" All of a sudden, she cackled, running from the room.

She's laughing. And taunting. "I killed Gracelyn Black! I killed Gracelyn Black!" I ran after her, wand drawn, shooting curses as she ran.

"Avada Kedavra!" I screamed, chasing her. I think everyone in there other than Maxie followed me, shooting curses at her. "I'm going to be the one to kill you! Me! I loved her! She was my life!" I yelled, breaking into tears.

"She isn't so strong is she? Everyone always calls we a fighter. But look now! She's dead! She gave up!"

"No she didn't! Gracie would never give up! I don't even believe she's dead!"

"Then why are you here?" She taunted, glaring at me. That's it. I can't take this. She killed Gracie. I'll kill her! I'll never have another girlfriend. I don't even think I can function. But before I shut down, I'm going to end Bellatrix Lestrange. I lunged for her, tackling her to the ground. I put my wand to her throat and surprise surprise, Voldemort shows up to save her. She disapparated, leaving me with him and the order. But this is my fight. I took a defensive stance, circling him. We fought, I used all my anger right here, right now.

"Avada Kedavra!" I yelled, firing at his head. He laughed, blocking it easily. Dumbledore showed up, relieving me. Everything is a blur. All I see is Gracie falling and hitting that floor. I dropped to my knees, trying to wipe the image from my head. I could hear all the others behind me, crying as well. Sirius the worst of all.

"My baby! By little girl! She's gone!" He whispered the words over and over again, each one shattering me more. Gracie was my life! Sure I had the gang and Sirius and the Weasley's and Lupin, and I'd give my life for any of them. But Gracie was my life, my everything, my whole future. I'm lost with out her! I didn't pay attention to the fight until I was pulled back into it. Tom took over my body, it was like I was fighting for control. I ought to just give up.

But Gracie wouldn't want me to it. All of a sudden, there were multiple gasps and shouts, so I fought my way to the surface until I could see. Maxie was helping her into the room. Her eyes were unfocused, she was covered in blood, and she was hopping on one foot, but she's alive! She took one look at me, then dropped to her knees, crawling over to me. "Don't you dare give up Harry James Potter! I didn't, and neither can you!" She snapped, but her voice was weak, she bent down, kissing me softly.

I felt happy. She's alive. The girl I love, didn't die. I can live, I can live with her! I fought harder, I finally felt him leave, but it was hard to breathe, but I did. The minister appeared, and he and Dumbledore talked, but I didn't listen. I pulled Gracie down on top of me. "Harry?" I kissed her forehead repeatedly, I kissed her cheeks, her cute little nose, and finally her lips.

"Yes?" I mumbled, ignoring the fact that her family was watching.

"I'm tired."

"It's okay. I know you are. You can sleep. We're going to get home safe okay? Everything is going to be okay!" I muttered, holding her closer.

"Harry?"

"Yes sweetheart?"

"I love you!" I looked down at her, smiling.

"I love you too!"
