Harry and Ginny sped up. Ginny was now in front of Harry. Harry saw the Ministry. Ginny went down into a dive. Harry did as well; and found himself lying on the ground. Ginny was next to him. “Good game Potter. I suppose tying is a way to say we’re equally good.” Ginny said laughing. Harry got up. “Good game.” He said, shaking her hand. “Great game! Did you see the patronuses everyone casted? My horse, Hermione’s otter, Luna’s hare!” Harry nodded, just as Ron, Hermione, Luna, and Neville came onto the grass. Harry ran at Ron and Hermione. “Luckily we survived!” Harry said laughing. Harry wrapped his arms around Ron and Hermione. “Glad we survived, ye mate?” Ron asked. Harry let go of them and nodded laughably. Hermione, Ron, and Harry broke into laughter. “Let’s do this, see Sirius’ grave and reread his Will and Testament.” Ginny said seriously. Neville and Luna nodded, heading towards the Ministry. “I can get us in.” Ron and Harry said. They looked at each other. “I will,” They both said. “No I will,” They said again. “No you can,” They said together. They pointed at each other. “You go!” “No you go!” “Harry will get us in, won’t you Harry?” Luna asked. Harry nodded, Ron looked as if to argue, but didn’t. “Whatever,” Ron muttered. Hermione placed her hand on his shoulder. “Harry’s gotten us in once. We can rely on getting in again.” Hermione said breathlessly. Ron nodded. Luna, Neville, Hermione, and Ron walked into the Ministry. Ginny and Harry were close behind. Harry led Ginny to the front of the crowd. They reached a telephone box, which was covered in red. Harry went inside the tiny box. Ginny, Luna, Neville, Ron, and Hermione squeezed in. Harry was at the speaker inside. “State your name and your business.” The voice said. Harry could tell it was female. “Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron and Ginny Weasley.” Harry said quickly. “Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom.” “We’re here for a visit.” The telephone box; in Harry’s opinion, nodded. The telephone box turned into an elevator, and went down into the ground. The telephone box swung open when it came to a halt. “Must’ve known we wanted the Department,” Ron said with a grin. Hermione nodded. Hermione led them to where the battle was. There was the archway that he had passed in. There was a note on the archway. It read:
If anyone had to pass, they would be buried. Sirius Black died here on 18 June 1996. He was the godfather of Harry Potter. He was the father to Athena Black. Sirius Black was the best friend to James and Lily Potter. James and Lily died by Voldemort. Black died by Black’s cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange. Black will be remembered. Black left his last Will and Testament to Harry James Potter, Ronald Bilius Weasley, Hermione Jean Granger, and Athena Melody Black. To Harry, he leaves his house, Number twelve Grimmauld Place. To Ronald, he leaves Kreacher, a House elf. To Hermione, he leaves Salzar Slytherin’s Locket. To Athena, He leaves his most prized possessions.
Harry looked shocked. “I—I didn’t— a daughter?” Hermione and Ron looked shocked. Luna looked worried, Ginny looked anxious. Neville patted Harry on the back. “The locket? We destroyed it! It was mine anyway!” Hermione shouted. Ron started looking furious. “Kreacher….. I hate Kreacher.” Ron looked at his muggle watch. “Harry! We’re gonna miss dinner,” Harry looked back at Hermione, then back at Ron. “We already did. It’s gonna be sundown in thirty minutes.” “What’s so important, we need to be back at sundown?” Hermione asked. “Nothin’,” Harry said. Harry gestured to everyone to mount their brooms. “Harry, my broom got caught in the dementors. They took it with them.” Ron said. Harry pointed to the sky. They were thestrals zooming down to the ground. Luna and Neville jumped. “Ron, you and Hermione can ride these,” Luna pointed to the thestrals. Ron and Hermione couldn’t see them. Neville helped Hermione onto the thestrals, and Harry helped Ron.
