The letter was bloodstained and not complete. Harry could tell it was from Remus and this was in no way good. Harry read the letter with Hermione, slightly shaking.

Harry,
We don't have much time. They're coming. They will take us and it is up to you and anyone who will help to

Hermione covered her mouth with her hand and Harry shook more violently.

"What does he mean by 'they'?" asked Hermione.

"The Death Eaters." said Harry. "They've got them."

Harry dropped the letter and ran back in the direction of the main village. He could only vaguely hear Hermione yelling for him to slow down. Harry was running at top speed. He needed to get back to Hogwarts and warn McGonagall. Dumbledore left a while ago so all he could do was talk to McGonagall. She'd be a help. Right?

Harry ran back inside the castle. He went to McGonagall's office. Hermione came panting behind him.

"Professor!!" he shouted at the professor before him. She looked disturbed by him.

"How may I be of service?" she asked.

"Padfoot and Moony are captured by Death Eaters!" Harry yelled. McGonagall stared at Harry for a moment before responding.

"I will call the Order and send help." said McGonagall standing up.

"No! We need to go save them now!" Harry yelled. He was starting to panic a lot.

"I am afraid there is nothing more you or I can do. As I said, I will send help." said McGonagall and she walked out.

"Not if I can help it." said Harry, and he ran out again. Hermione following.

He went up to Gryffindor Tower. He ran up to the boys' dormitory and found Ron, Neville, Dean, and Seamus.

"How'd it go?" Ron urged.

"Well, if you can call getting a letter from someone saying they're in danger and are about to die good, THAN IT WAS FANTASTIC!" Harry yelled impatiently. He wad looking around fro anything he would need. He didn't know why he was doing this, all he needed was his wand.

"Wait, what are you talking about?" asked Seamus.

"I got a letter from Moony. He and Padfoot have been captured by Death Eaters." said Harry. "I'm supposed to go save them."

"We'll help." said Neville, standing up.

"Fine, whatever." said Harry. "Come one." The five boys exited their dormitory, with tight grips on their wands, and ran downstairs. When they reached the bottom of the stairs, they saw Hermione and Ginny waiting for them, also holding their wands. Hermione had changed out of her dress and was now wearing something more appropriate for what they're about to do.

"I told Ginny what happened. She wants to help." Hermione told Harry.

"Wait." said Harry. "You're not coming."

"And why not?" asked Hermione, folding her arms.

"Because. You'll get hurt. And so will Ginny. Just stay here." said Harry. Ginny stepped forward.

"We're coming!" both girls yelled in unison.

"Fine! Just... stay in the background." said Harry. "Now lets go."

The seven students ran all the way down to the Entrance Hall until they realized they had no clue where they were supposed to go or how to get there.

"What are we going to do?" asked Hermione. At that moment, Luna Lovegood popped out of no where.

"Hello." she said.

"Not now, Luna." said Harry. "We're in the middle of a crisis."

"I can help." said Luna. Harry was about to argue but Luna cut him off. "I'm as big a part of Dumbledore's Army as Ginny, Neville, Dean, or Seamus."

"Fine, ok." said Harry. "But I have no idea where-" Harry stopped talking abruptly.

He started getting all sweaty and dizzy. He fell against the wall and vaguely heard Hermione asking if he was ok. He wasn't. Actually, he didn't know if he was. This never happened before. At least not when he was awake. That's it! He was having one of those nightmares only whilst he was awake.

He saw the Ministry. He was going to the Department of Mysteries. Suddenly, Remus was tied in a corner and Sirius was being tortured. It was a horrible sight. Harry didn't want to watch. Voldemort was asking for Sirius to give him the 'weapon' but Sirius wouldn't give in. As quick as it came, Harry was cautious of his surroundings again. He saw Hermione and Ron leaning over him with everyone else watching worriedly.

"I know where they are." said Harry. He shot up off the ground and ran outside. On the way he explained what he saw.

"But, Harry!" Hermione grabbed his wrist and stopped him. "How are we supposed to go to the Ministry. None of us can apparate and we can't use the Floo Network." Luna suddenly had a big, broad smile on her face.

"We fly of course."

"Huh?" everyone asked in unison.

"Thestrals." Luna cleared up.

"How are we supposed to use Thestrals? Only three of us can see them." said Dean.

"Easy. Luna, Neville, and I will guide you to them." said Harry. "Luna, where do the Thestrals usually hang around?"

"The edge of the Forbidden Forest." said Luna.

The eight students made their way to the edge of the forest. Harry wasn't quite sure if this plan would work, but if he learned anything at all from Luna in the past year, it's that you need to just trust her. Luna's one of those people you just can't help but trust. And she always comes through. Always.

They were now at the forest and there was no Thestral in sight.

"We need to go inside." said Luna after Harry gave her a confused look. Neville's eyes became as round as Galleons. He had only been in that forest once and Harry and Malfoy had almost been killed when that happened. Seamus and Dean seemed to find it cool. Hermione and Ron weren't fazed at all though. They had gone in there many times. The eight students entered the forest and only had to walk a bit until Luna stopped them.

She reacher into her bag and pulled out a lump of meat. A few lumps of meat actually. She dropped them on the floor and they waited for the Thestrals to take the bait. They did. They came and happily ate the meat Luna had provided for them. There were four Thestrals. Perfect.

"Ok." Harry turned to face the group. "Neville, you can take one with Ginny. Luna, you'll go with Ron. Seamus, Dean, I'll help you find one. And Hermione, you'll ride with me." Hermione gave him a big smile. Harry blushed a little but tried to hide it. He helped Seamus and Dean find and climb a Thestrals and then helped Hermione find their own.
