The next morning Meissa got detention in Potions because she was helping Ron and Neville when she wasn't supposed to. Then in Charms Flitwick made her preform several charms in front of the class. In Transfigurations Minerva was making her so off all of her transfiguration skills to the whole class. But When Meissa, Hermione, Harry, Ron and Neville got to DADA things were about to go downhill.
Meissa sat next to Harry. As she was getting out her books her sketch pad fell on to the ground. Harry bent over and picked it up. He began to look at the drawings.
"You are very good at art Meissa" he said as he handed Meissa her sketch pad back. She turned to face him and they both looked deeply into each other's eyes. Before Meissa could say thank you Professor Umbridge walked into the room.
"Good morning class I am Professor Umbridge. In this class you won't need to use your wand in this class. We will not use magic at all this year," she said sweetly.
"But professor we need to be prepared for what's out there. People are going to use magic on us, we need to know how to protect ourselves" Meissa protested.
"Who would fight children like yourselves?" Umbridge asked.
"Umm I don't know Voldemort" Meissa and Harry said together. Everyone gasped at his name.
"Voldemort isn't back what Mr. Potter and Miss Lestrange tell you is a lie" she said. Umbridge made Meissa's last name sound like it was forced out of her and that there was a bitter hatred toward Meissa.
"We aren't lying" Harry protested.
"Mr. Potter, Miss Lestrange you have detention for a month now please shut up" Umbridge said as she stood in front of the two.
She went on with her lesson. After class Meissa was sitting in the common room watching Harry and Ron play Wizard Chess. She decided to draw them because their faces were so serious and funny. Near the middle of their game, Seamus and Dean ran into the room and went straight to Meissa.
"Meissa Professor Dumbledore wants to see you in his office" Seamus said.
"We were also told to show you the way" Dean added on to what Seamus said.
The two lead Meissa to Albus' office. She liked Seamus and Dean's company they were quite funny. They invited Meissa to quidditch try outs this year. When she got to Dumbledore's office she said good bye to Seamus and Dean and walked up the stairs.
When she got into the office she saw him, Minerva, Severus, Poppy, Rolanda and Pomona sitting on the couches. Meissa sat on a chair between Severus and Rolanda. Pomona brought her over some tea and Albus offered Meissa a Sherbet Lemon. There was an awkward silence after Pomona and Albus sat down.
"So Meissa I heard that you got two detentions today" Poppy said to break the silence.
"WHAT! You got two detentions. Meissa it's only your first day" Minerva said with shock.
"Well I didn't try to. Severus gave me detention for helping Ron and Neville after I was done. Then that stupid new Professor Umbridge gave me detention for disagreeing with her. But that one was me and Harry," Meissa said trying to defend herself.
"Severus you cannot give her detention for helping people" Rolanda said as she high fived Meissa.
"Fine, Meissa you do not have detention from me" Severus said as he gave Rolanda a death glare.
"Was that all Umbridge gave you detention for?" asked Albus as he popped a Sherbet Lemon into his mouth.
"No it's also because she thinks I'm like my parents. She never told me it but you could hear it in the way she said Lestrange that she wants me in Azkaban like my parents" explained Meissa.
"Well it's really late, so good night. See you tomorrow Meissa" Pomona said as she left.
"Hey I'll walk you to the Gryffindor Common Room" Poppy said as she and Meissa left.
Meissa and Poppy walked to the Gryffindor Common Room together. Meissa gave Poppy a hug and went inside the portrait hole. When Meissa got inside her dorm she saw Ginny sitting looking out the window. She decided to go sit with her.
"Hey Ginny" Meissa said as she sat down next to her.
"Hi Meissa" Ginny responded.
"Can you not sleep or something?"
"I really miss my parents."
"Me too, even though I hardly remember them."
"Really, why do you hardly remember your mom and dad?"
"The last time I saw them I had had just turned one. They have been in Azkaban for fourteen years now."
"Wow. Do you want to meet them?"
"Yes more than anything in the world. To just know them would be something special."
"Why won't you meet them?"
"They have a life sentence in Azkaban."
"Oh that sucks."
"Yeah the only thing I have left of them is a photo of them and me."
"Well I'm really tired so good night Meissa" Ginny said as she got into her bed.
Meissa sat in the same spot looking out the window for ten more minutes. She really wanted to meet her parents. Ginny was the first person other than the professors that she has ever told. Meissa then decided to go to sleep.
