Connections ~ Y/n Potter x Bellatrix Lestrange x Narcissa Malfoy

3. Umbridge

-Y/n's pov-

'what a weirdo...' I mutter 'yeah...' Ron whispers back. 'Thank you, Professor Umbridge. That really was most illuminating' Dumbledore says 'Illuminating? what a load of waffle' Ron says 'what's it mean?' Harry asks

'it means that the ministry has infiltrated Hogwarts' Hermione explains 'damn.' I mutter. After dinner Harry and I are walking into the common room, it grows silent, i sigh 'Dean, Seamus. Good holiday?' Harry asks them

'all right, better than Seamus's anyway' Dean answers and Seamus stands up 'Me mum didn't want me to come back this year' He says 'Why not?' I ask, he does a fake thinking 'Let me see. Because of you two. The Daily Prophet's been saying a lot of things about you two and Dumbledore' he says and I scoff

'What, your mum believes them?' Harry asks 'Nobody was there the night Cedric died' Seamus said 'guess you should read the Prophet, then, like your stupid mother' Harry says 'Harry...' I mutter, trying to calm him down

'Don't talk about my mother' Seamus defends 'I'll have a go at anyone that calls me or my sister a liar' he says, then Ron walks into the common room 'what is going on?' he asks

'He's mad, is what's going on. Do you believe the rubbish they come out with about You-Know-Who?' Seamus asks Ron 'yeah I do. Has anyone else got a problem with Harry or Y/n!?' Ron says and everyone is silent.

We quickly walk upstairs and get into the corridors 'are you two alright?' Ron asks in the corridor 'fine' Harry and I say and we walk to our dorms.

'O. W. L's' Umbridge says 'most commonly known as OWL's' she says, Hermione raises her hand 'There's nothing in here about using defensive spells?' she asks

'Using spells? Well, I can't imagine why you would need to use spells in my classroom.' Umbridge says

'We're not gonna use magic?' Ron asks 'You'll be learning about defensive spells in a secure, risk-free way' she says 'What use is that? If we're attacked, it won't be risk-free' I say

'Students will raise their hands when they speak in my class. It is the view of the Ministry... that a theoretical knowledge will be sufficient... to get you through your examinations... which, after all, is what school is all about.' she explains, I sigh 

'And how's theory supposed to prepare us for what's out there?' I ask 'there is nothing out there, my dear. Who do you imagine wants to attack children like yourself?' she asks 'oh I don't know, maybe... Lord Voldemort' I say, I look around the class, everyones eyes are on me, Draco, who is sitting next to me is shocked

'Now, let me make this quite plain. You have been told... that a certain dark wizard is at large once again. That's a lie' she says 'that is not a lie, I saw him. I fought him' I say 'detention, mrs. Potter' she says and walks away from me

'so according to you, Cedric Diggory just dropped dead of his own accord' I say frustrated, she turns around 'Cedric Diggory's death was an tragic accident' she says

'it was murder, Voldemort killed him, you must know!-' I protest 'enough!' she shouts in the middle of my sentence 'enough' she repeats 'see me later, mrs. Potter. My office' she says and I scoff 'this is fucking bullshit' I hiss, hearing a few ooh's from my classmates, mainly Draco's. 'damn girl' he mutters and I scoff, Umbridge ignores me and turns around 'Bitch' I mutter under my breath and he laughs softy.

I knock on Umbridge's door of her office 'come in' she says 'good evening mrs. Potter' she says 'sit down' she says and I sit down

'You're going to be doing some lines for me today, Mrs. Potter. But not with your quill' she says and gives me a quill

'now, I want you to write, I must not tell lies' she says 'how many times?' I ask 'well, let's say as long as you think it takes for the message to sink in' she says 'you haven't given me any ink' I say 'you don't need any ink' she says.
