-Chapter 1-

Suzanne Specht sat at her desk in the Department of Magical Creatures, staring out the

window at the overcast sky, she had just received on owl from her long time boy friend

Ronnie Walibee saying that he would be at he office in 15 minutes, she was waiting for

him impatiently, trying to ignore the noises coming from the cubicle next to hers, where

her office mate and friend Cornwall Crumple was trying to get rid of a rather nasty case

of pimples that had erupted all over his body.

Suzanne was 27 years old, had been working at the ministry for 5 years, had been dating

Ronnie for 7 years, loved the Weird Sisters, and was the unsuccessful creature of

Specrespects. She had spent 3 years developing them and as hard as she tried she

couldn't get anyone to buy them.

Ronnie swept into the office just as Suzanne had been about to leave, his long brown hair

was plastered to his face from the heavy rain outside, and his robes were soaked but

that didn't keep him from taking her into his arms and kissing her passionately. "Ah I've

missed you," he sighed as she gathered up her bag "there's been news from Hogwarts."

This comment stopped Suzanne in her tracks she had always loved Hogwarts, and had

been extremely worried about the children attending it in the past couple of years with

Voldemort and his death eaters everywhere. Of course not everyone believed that

Voldemort was back, but Suzanne did and the thought of any news coming from

Hogwarts sent a chill down her spine "What's happened?" she whispered, looking up into

Ronnie's face ."That horrible woman you work with, Doloris Umbridge ,has been

stationed there apparently she's taken over. Dumbledore has fled!" Suzanne gasped, she

had been sending weekly owls to Dumbledore for the last two years telling him as many

details as she could about the workings of the Ministry, the news that he had fled

shocked her greatly. Of course she had known that Umbridge was at Hogwarts but at the

time she'd thought nothing of it. Ronnie broke through her thoughts "They've sent out a

search party for him." Suzanne gaped at him "They what?!" she shrieked."Yeah they sent

people out to look for him as soon as word arrived that he had left, Fudge is furious of

course..."

Suzanne was shaking with anger, that evil toad Doloris Umbridge, it was all her fault that

Dumbledore had fled anyway. Suzanne was determined to stop Fudge and Umbridge if it

was thee last thing she did. She grabbed Ronnie's hand and swept from the office.
