Harry Potter and the irrelevant title. Part 2
My name is
Dolores Jane Umbridge. I am from a pure blood family and
I am
studying my fifth year at Hogwarts school of Witch Craft and
Wizardry. In my first year I was sorted in to Hufflepuff upon
entering the oak doors that lead to the Great Hall. Hogwarts was
not
only the safest place in the Wizarding world but it is also
amazingly beautiful. My favourite thing in Hogwarts is my pet
Niffler. His name is Niffy the Nifty Little Niffler. My favourite
subject is Divination where we read tealeaves, gaze into an orb
ball and interpret dreams. I am also in love with Severus
Snape.
At the start of every year there is a welcoming feast
where new
students get sorted, speeches are made and a feast is
eaten. After
the feast we all head to our dormitories to go to
bed and look at
the yearly schedule. The schedule this year had
changed. There was a
Christmas Ball to be scheduled this year, in
a week. I ran straight
upstairs to start on my dress. I re-read
the notice in the morning
and noticed that you are meant to
invite a partner. I ran out of the
common room in search for
Severus Snape.
The moment I laid eyes on him my legs turned to
jelly. As I got
closer I could see the grease reflecting off his
black hair.
"H-Hi Severus, Your hair is a nice shade of greasy
black today." I
said, or more precisely, stuttered.
"Um…Thanks
Umbridge" Severus replied looking slightly taken aback
"Severus,
I was wondering if you would go to the Christmas Ball with
me?"
"I
don't think I can go with you Umbridge. I have someone else in
mind." He replied. As I turned to walk away I ran into Sirius
Black,
his robes giving off a singeing smoke smell.
"Hey,
Dolores, can I count on you for the ball?" He asked me.
"I am
sorry Sirius; I am not in the mood right now." With that said
I
turned and went to the girl's toilets where I spent the rest of
the day crying.
On the night of the ball, which included a
feast and started at
seven, I put on my nicely sewn dress. I
looked at myself in the
mirror upon the wall. I was amazed at how
pretty I looked. I made my
way downstairs where I met up with my
last minute date. Lucious
Malfoy, a blonde rich snob, but I
couldn't go without a date so he
was the next best thing. After
the feast I stood over by the punch
bowl watching Severus and
Sirius dance with each other. Severus was
not wearing his usual
black robes. Instead he was wearing a fluffy
red boa, a tight
black T-shirt with denim jeans that flared out at
the bottom and
electric blue high heels. Not only that, his hair was
on fire. It
was weird seeing him like that, he looked totally
different.
As I
was drinking my punch I saw Malfoy approach me. As he got
closer
I could smell the fire whiskey in his breath. Lucious forced
me
on to the dance floor where not many couples were dancing anymore
and started to kiss me. It was horrible. I tried to get him off
me
but his grip was too tight. An hour past and I was finally
able to
return to the punch table without him.
I stared
over at Severus and Sirius. They seemed to be talking.
Sirius
then stormed off. I went over to Severus to see what was
going
on. He shrugged and then I felt myself blush as we began to
dance.
I told him how I felt about him and he replied with a kiss.
By
the end of the night I was really very tired. As we were leaving
the
great hall I noticed something on the ground. It was a note
labelled
to 'Dolores and Severus'. I picked it up and began to read
it
aloud.
To whomever may find this note;
I was stumbling
drunk down the path after finding out Severus is a transvestite. '-I
gasped. I was in love with a transvestite? -'When suddenly
something
attacked me. It was Macbeth, Severus' feral fire
breathing
kitten…I'm sorry, but I had to kill it. There was a
lot of blood…I
had to find the energy to write this, leave it,
then go where no
body would find me to die. I love you Dolores.
There has never been
a time where I stopped loving you, and
Severus, its all your fault.
My feelings towards you have always
been negative. I do not dare
drag myself to the hospital wing-I'd
rather die a man's death by
running away. Don't come looking
forme, I could not stand harming
Dolores when she sees my blood,
tattered, possibly half-devoured
body. Dolores…remember I love
you… I know you'll go far in life - you're
quite the little
hell raiser.
I bid you Adieu! Tally Ho!
-Sirius
I
was so stunned by the note that I dropped it and started to cry. I
couldn't believe Severus was a transvestite.
"Are you
really a transvestite?" I yelled. I was so angry and upset
I
thought I was going to break down completely.
"I am going into
the forest to find Sirius," I yelled once more. I
ran out of
the Great Hall and down the path towards the forest.
The
forest was pitch black and I could here eerie music playing. The
music scared me so I got out my wand to prepare for an attack.
After
walking for five more minutes my throat was getting dry.
That's when
I realised that I was humming the eerie music. I
kept walk through
the forest in silence. It was even scarier then
when I was humming.
I heard a ruffle of leaves to the left and
that's when I saw it.
Macbeth the feral fire breathing kitten's
ghost was chewing up Niffy my Nifty Little Niffler. I was mortified.
Can ghosts even eat Nifflers? At that moment I heard the sound of
crunching leaves. I span around with my wand in my hand to find that
it was only Severus. He looked down at Macbeth, and had a slight grin
on his pale face. "What is so funny?" I yelled, devastated that
my Niffler had been killed. He shook his head as if to say 'never
mind', and pulled out his wand. He pointed it at me, and I gasped.
Surely he wasn't going to kill me too…
Suddenly a florescent green stream of light shot out of the end of his wand, and I knew that any second now, it would all be over… I closed my eyes, ready to fall. But nothing happened. I opened my eyes slowly, and yelled,
"Take your time!" but then I noticed a cute fluffy pink Niffler sitting at my feet, staring up at me with gorgeous, innocent eyes. I looked to Severus, who continued to grin at me.
"Severus, you dolt… what did you do?" I asked, slightly confused. He laughed an almost sinister laugh (which was usual for him), and pointed at the Niffler.
"This," he said slowly, "is yours."
I looked down at the Niffler, which looked up at me as if to say, 'Get a life lady, and pick me up!' So I bent down and picked up the feather-light Niffler, who immediately took comfort in snuggling up to me.
"Please Dolores… come back to the castle. Dumbledore will be wondering where we are, not to mention everyone else." Severus said softly, approaching me. I nodded, and we trudged through the darkening forest, back up to the main hall.
After that fateful night, Severus and I never exchanged words again, even though I think about him every day. I have finished my schooling at Hogwarts and am now Senior under secretary to the Minister for Magic. My life is going well and next year I am due to teach Defence Against the Darks Arts at Hogwarts, what more could a girl want?
