crashing down // Fred Weasley

Like godfather like goddaughter

"How did you get away?" Sophie gasped once they had reached Harry and Hermione, they had raced down towards the Forbidden Forest to find the two stumbling out of it, panicked looks on their faces.

"Grawp." Hermione sighed.

"Come again?" Ginny asked looking between the two as Ron gave over their wands.

"Doesn't matter now." Harry cut it off, "how did you guys get away?"

"Neville fed the lot of them some of the twins sweets." Sophie smiled. "Was brilliant really" she said as she patted the boys shoulder.

"We need to get to the ministry." Harry rushed looking around the group.

"But the ministry's in London mate, how are we all going to get there." Ron asked. "We can't apparate and them lot are in Umbridge's office."

"We fly." Luna voiced.

"I beg your pardon Luna?" Hermione said looking back to the forest, where Luna was staring with a smile.

"We fly." She pointed out to what looked like nothing for the others but Sophie could see them crystal clear. A group of large beautiful horse like creatures came trotting out from the trees, there boney backs arched and there slim, skinny heads held high as they walked towards the group of children. "They'll help us."

"I'm sorry Luna but what we help us?" Neville asked.

"Thestrals." Sophie breathed watching the magnificent animal that stood in front of her. She held her hand up slowly stroking it down it's cold face. She lifted her wand cautiously before watching as a blue wisp appeared from it and began trotting around the others in circles, it's wings held high beside it. "That's what they look like, they'll take us there won't they Luna?" She asked the blonde girl who smiled and nodded.

"We." Harry spluttered. "No, it's too dangerous."

"Harry you don't have to do this alone." Ron said patting his bestfriends back, "we're coming with you."

"Yeah otherwise what was the point in Dumbledore's army." Neville added.

"Me and Sophie can help you get on the Thestrals." Luna informed walking over to the largest one, "come here Harry."

Harry walked over to the girl hesitantly before letting her leg him up over the animal, it was an incredibly strange feeling for the others as they couldn't see the animals they were sat upon. Once everyone was aboard Sophie cast her Thestral away and climbed upon the one that was in front of her. "Just don't look down." She warned as they took off.

The wind crashed against their faces as they soared through to mid day's sky, Sophie couldn't believe they were all doing this but it was for the best. She couldn't help but worry for Sirius, he was just as important to her as he was to Harry.

They had been flying for around half an hour when London came into view, they flew down past a large bridge and over the top of alinned buildings before coming to a stop outside a large hall like structure, beside a bright red phone box.

"This is it." Harry stated as he jumped off of his Thestral landing hard on the floor, "we'll have to take the visitors entrance but we won't all be able to fit."

"You, Ron and Hermione go." Sophie stated jumping down from the horse. "We will follow through after, i know where to go i've had the same dreams as you."

"Be safe." He said before rushing inside the box.

"And you." Sophie replied watching him and his friends lower into the floor completely before it resurfaced, empty. "Come on." She said before bidding a farewell to the Thestral and squeezing in the phone box along with Neville, Luna and Ginny. "Does anyone actually know how to do this?"
