a/n so this chapter is going to be taking place after Umbridge has declared herself High Inquisitor of Hogwarts and is going around evaluating teachers. Lets just say Umbridge and Sophia are not exactly on the best terms.

The class walks out to the field and find Sophia standing there, with Freya on her shoulder, "good morning!" She smiles, "today's going to be a fun day." Sophia whistles and a large creature flies above them landing besides her, "meet Lila." The class expresses their amazement at it, "what type of creature is she?" Neville and Hermione raise their hands, "Ms. Granger?"

"She's an ocamy."

"Correct, 5 points." Sophia strokes Lila's neck, "isn't she beautiful?"

"Hem hem," everyone turns to see Umbridge standing there clipboard in hand, "you do realize," she tells her in her all too high and girly voice, "that occamies are considered very dangerous animals by the ministry with a rating of 4 x's, yes?"

"I do," she responds. Sophia tosses her a card, "there's my license. As you'll remember from last class that occamies are typically found in the far east and India. When I met Lila, she was being trafficked andseparated from her children. As a result, Lila was very distrusting of me and others when we first met, trying to help."

"Hem hem." Sophia rolls her eyes, "you do understand that I'm evaluating your lesson and teaching skills today?"

"I'm not an idiot," she grumbles. "Do what you gotta do." Sophia strokes Lila's neck, "can anyone explain to me why occamies are high sought after? Mr. Weasley?"

"Their shells have special properties," Ron explains. "And they're made of soft silver, making them valuable to poachers."

"5 points. Now Occamies will typically eat insects, rats and birds," Sophia explains. "Not to mention the occasional monkey."

"Hem hem."

"May I help you?"

"I was hoping to speak to the students about you as a teacher," Umbridge smiles sweetly, making Sophia's insides turn.

"I don't mind, just as long as you don't distract the other students." Sophia pauses for a minute as Umbridge makes her way through the class. "Did you have a question Ms. Parkinson?"

"Are Occamies typically that tame?" She asks, "because you mentioned in earlier lessons about xxxx creatures being aggressive."

"No, they are not!" Sophia chuckles, "that's a brilliant question, and as you'll see most creatures are distrustful of humans. Ms. Brown?"

"Then why did you bring such an aggressive creature to class?"

Lila huffs, clearly hurt, "now you've gone and hurt her feelings." Sophia pinches her nose, "Lila is not aggressive. I'll be completely honest, I've been hurt more by unicorns than dragons and occamies combined."

"Hem hem. How exactly did you get hurt by a unicorn?" Umbridge asks, "I've heard that they prefer a woman's touch."

"It stabbed me through the shoulder with its horn," she huffs. "Unicorns are awful. Occamies are pretty great because they do not have pointy appendages."

"I find that very hard to believe."

"You wanna see the scar?" Sophia asks, "I'm covered in them."

"No, it's okay?"

"Okay! What trait do occamies posses that makes them unique?" Sophia turns to class, "anyone?" They look lost , so she holds out a teapot, "Lila, do the thing!" Lila just gives her a look, "well get on with it!" Sophia tells her, "you're making me look like a git." She huffs before flying up and into the teapot, shrinking, "what is that called?"

Neville raises his hand, "occamies are choranatpyxic."

"Good job, now—" Lila lets out a loud shriek as the teapot burst, "Lila?" The occamy flies off and Sophia looks at Umbridge horrified, "what the hell?"

"Just getting rid of a possible threat to the safety of the students," Umbridge smiles, sickly sweet as ever, "now will you play chase?"

"Class dismissed!" Sophia runs into the forbidden woods, looking for the occamy, "Lila! Lila! Mum's here!"

She crashes into a rope falling onto her back with a groan, "who are you?"

Sophia looks up to see a centaur with a bow and arrow pointed at her, "someone in pain right now," she winces, "can you point that elsewhere?"

He frowns, "why are you in these woods?"

"Looking for an occamy named Lila," she sighs. "I'm Sophia."

"Ronan. What happened to the occamy?"

"A stupid woman tried to kill her while she was a teapot," Sophia sits on a rock, "I don't suppose you've heard of Dolores Umbridge?"

"The woman who targets "filthy half breeds?'" He raises an eyebrow, "she went after centaurs a long time ago."

"She happened." Sophia whistles, "Lila, mum's here. Will you come back?" A look of relief floods her face as another centaur walks out from the shadow with Lila, "Lila." She runs over, "thank you so much." Sophia starts murmuring to Lila softly, "I'm sorry, mum's sorry."

"Lady Sophia?"

She looks up, "hi Bane. Thank you so much. It's been a while."

"I suppose it has," he tells her. "You've grown up a lot. You're no longer that naïve little girl from Hogwarts."

"I see life has been treating you well," she smiles. "I hope to see you again."

"Let's see if it's written in stars," Bane chuckles. "You're still a strange one Lady Sophia."

He runs off, "bye Bane. I'm just not closed minded!" Sophia yells after him, "I never was!"
