We touched down and I patted the Thestrals gratefully,

"Thank you, guys, I think we'll be good now," I said,

'Okay, have fun saving the world!' Blue said, nocking into Fortis as they took off again. I grinned as I waved, before letting my face fall and turning towards the telephone box,

"Well in you go," I said heading the trio into the box and picking up the receiver I paused,

"Hey, would any of you happen to remember the code?" I asked turning around in the already squashed box,

"Six, two, four, four, two," Harry said

"Great thanks!" I said, punching in the numbers and switching to Greek

"O Percy Jackson me treis kalesménous zitoún eísodo sto tmíma ton mystiríon"

Percy Jackson with three guests requesting entrance to department of mysteries ( So sayth the all-powerful google translate )

Three badges slipped out of the coin dispenser and I passed them out, they just read my name and 'guest 1' 'guest 2' or 'guest 3' after them. I smiled at them just before the box dropped at a shuddering speed. I quickly braced myself against the walls to keep from falling, although that didn't stop the others, I winced as they crashed into the ground.

The sudden stop rattled everyone more and I cleared my throat stepping over the trio and out of the box, I turned to Harry, looking over my shoulder,

"Welcome to the place of your dreams," I said to Harry, causing him to look up and step out of the box as well,

"It's different in person," he muttered and I nodded,

"Let's find Sirus," I said pushing him forward, it was like he was in a trance and I followed him, letting him lead us. Ron and Hermine had collected themselves and were following closely behind me.

The elevator had brought us directly to the hall of memories, and with Harry leading the way through the strange orbs Hermione and Ron exchanged glances.

When Harry came to a stop in front of a specific prophecy Ron and Hermione reached forward to stop him, but I throw a arm out in front of them, it was time. Harry deserved to know. I looked around, sensing presences closing onto us I gritted my teeth,

"Come on Harry, hurry up," I gritted out quietly, Harry glanced at me briefly before finally snatching the orb up.

"Very good, Potter. Now turn around, and slowly, and give that to me." Malfoy said a hand reaching for the orb, I drew riptide and in less than a second was holding it to his neck,

"You think Dumbledore would leave his prize without a guard posted?" I asked causing Malfoy to pause and tilt his head,

"You." He said, "No matter who I talk to, they never know who you are or where you come from- only that you deserve respect and are very powerful," I narrowed my eyes at him,

"Is that so?" I asked, he shrank back slightly but still held his ground, I gently pushed the trio behind me,

"Where's Sirius?" Harry asked, causing several of the men and women behind Malfoy to laugh,

"Get back Harry," I warned,

"I want to know where Sirius is!" he cried and I looked over to him, pinning him with my eyes,

"Breath Harry, remember what we've taught you," I said calmly. Malfoy took advantage of me looking away,

"Stupefy!" he called; I narrowly blocked the spell with the blade of my sword.

"Scatter! Scatter!" a woman cried gleefully, cackling as she went. I paused looking around, the order still hadn't gotten their yet and I couldn't defend them all three in the open like this,

"Follow me, quickly," I said, scanning the halls, I had planted them before, where were they- ah! I grabbed the prophecy of the seven, snatching it and trading it out for Harry's shoving Harry's into Hermione's hands,

"Keep that safe Hermione, don't let it break, Harry will need it," I said and she nodded. I peaked down the halls of orbs, and seeing them approaching I turned towards the three,

"you three, get those selves, I'll get these," I said, jamming my shoulder into the shelf in front of me, it rocked slightly and I jammed into it again, and again, before it finally, slowly tipped over. Creating a domino effect and one by one they started to fall, I quickly jammed into the other one, ignoring the pop I heard as my shoulder dislocated. I gritted my teeth and grabbing the kids we moved to the next exile doing the same thing to that one as well. Trapping them under the selves and shattering orb after orb.

I looked over at the shattered glass on the floor with hesitance, risking all of the prophecies wasn't worth it- but maybe- I shook my head and ushered the trio on, they were getting tired and breathing heavily, but it was better than them getting hurt. I saw a jet of light coming towards us,

"Duck!" I cried hitting the floor, with the other trio and tugging the closest, which happened to be Ron, down with me, I hopped back onto my feet quickly and turned towards them

"Get to the telephone booth, now" I said,

"But- Sirius-," Harry protested and I slipped him a lopsided grin,

"Harry, remember when you said it felt forced?" I asked and he hesitated before nodding,

"You were right, Sirius isn't here, Voldemort wants that orb you have there," I said nodding towards it, Harry paused for a second glancing at Hermione then Ron before scrambling to his feet and rushing towards the phone box, Ron running quickly following him, but Hermione hesitated.

"Well- what are you doing- go help him," I prompted,

"What are you going to do?" Hermione asked, "Your shoulder's busted, you can't go out there like that!"

"I'll be fine, Hermione, go on with your friends," I coaxed and she hesitated looking over her shoulder before letting out a grunt before following after them. I grinned and swung Riptide around in a circle, stretching my wrist pleasantly, and stepping out of my hiding spot,

"Now- who wants to go first?" I asked grinning as the Thanatos eaters raised their sticks.
