The Devil Wears Pink
Chapter eight
Chapter Eight! Sorry this one is a little short too.
I was sitting on the top of my desk talking to Hermione about random stuff, when Padma and Pavarti enchanted a paper bird to fly around the classroom.
Umbridge won't like that
The bird flew overhead. Seamus tried to grab it out of the air, and Crabbe tried to shoot it with a slingshot. Where did he get one of those?
"They have issues." I said to Hermione who was reading a book. What a shocker.
"You've just realized this now?" She asked.
"No, I'm just saying." I mumbled looking around the room.
I wonder if Snape would teach me again
All of a sudden, the paper began to burn and fell onto the top of Padma and Pavarti's desk. How rude.
"Good morning, children." She smiled.
Fake
All of us turned around and saw her standing in the back of the classroom. She gave me a nasty look, that I took as a sit in your seat you silly girl. So I did and watched her walk up through the desks. I hate her so much!
"Ordinary Wizarding Level examinations. O.W.L.S. More commonly known as OWLS. Study hard for these exams and you will be rewarded. Fail to do so and the consequences may be server."
Are you fucking serious?
It's the first day and she's already talking about this shit
With the flick of her wand, a large stack of books started floating down the aisle and flopped onto the wood right in front of our faces.
Dark Arts Defense for Beginners
Are you for real lady?
"From now on you will be following a carefully structured, Ministry approved course of defensive magic. Yes?"
Shouldn't the Ministry have something better to do than ruin our lives, oh wait they do that anyway
Hermione raised her hand and asked." There isn't anything in here about using defensive spells?"
"Using spells?" She laughed that horrible laugh that sounded like nails scratching a chalkboard." I can't imagine why you would want to use spells in my classroom?"
Because it's a Defense Against the Dark Arts class, duh!
"We're not going to use magic?" Ron asked.
Apparently not
"You all will be learning about using spells in a safe, risk free way." Umbridge smiled.
She is so creepy!
"Well what use is that? If we're attacked it wouldn't be risk free." Harry called out.
You tell her Harry!
"Students will raise their hands when they want to speak in my class Mr. Potter." She turned her back to us.
She's so on Crystal Meth, what are we, toddlers?
"It is the view of the Ministry that a theoretical knowledge would be more sufficient to get you through your exams, which is what school is all about."
"And how exactly is theory supposed to protect us from what's out there?" Harry asked angrily.
"There is nothing out there. Who do you think would want to attack children like yourselves?"
Here we go
"I don't know,maybe Lord Voldemort."
The room became silent. I saw Neville look down and Seamus shake his head back and forth. Everyone is going to feel like crap when Voldemort knocks on their door and appears right in front of their faces. Umbridge's face became stern and her eyes narrowed.
"Now let me make this quiet plan," She spoke." You have been told that a certain dark wizard is at large once again. This is a lie."
"It's not a lie!" I shouted." Just because everyone at the Ministry is too damn blind to see what's right under your nose-"
"ENOUGH!" She screamed." All you Potters are the same. The two of you have detention tonight. My office. Eight o' clock."
Perfect, the first day back and we already have a detention
"Now, if we are finished talking about all of this nonsense. Let's begin with what actually matters. I want everyone to read the first three chapters in this book, and I would like each one of you to write a twelve inch piece about what you have learned. You may start, and I don't want anyone to talk."
I guess you can't sneak away tonight, huh?
Guess not
You could meet me afterwards
It shouldn't be that long
I might just have to do that
"Miss Potter, put that filthy muggle contraption away this instant." Umbridge yelled from her desk.
Putting my phone in my bag, I glared at her. Detention is going to be interesting.
"What on earth were you thinking, Haylee?" Hermione asked once all of our classes were done for the day." You can't just burst out something like that and expect not to get into trouble. Especially with a person like her."
The common room was nearly empty; a few second years were talking quietly on the other side of the room. I was reading the book Umbrige gave us in class and I was only on chapter two. She could have told us that the chapters were almost fifty pages each, and the only thing that seemed to be in the book was how defending yourself in some situations is really bad and it kept saying how the Ministry was SO great. Great my ass.
Harry walked down the stairs without a sound and stood by me.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Ready to go? She'll probably kill us if we're late." He said.
"I guess," I stood up." See you later, 'Mione."
This is going to be interesting
What's going to happen in detention?
