After Effects of Angering a Slytherin

Harry's POV

Mealtimes in the Great Hall that were not a pleasant experience for the next three days. The news about Lyra's speech travelled exceptionally fast even by Hogwarts' standards. I heard whispers all around me as I sat eating between Dean and Kayla. The funny thing was that none of the whisperers seemed to mind him overhearing what they were saying about his fiance. Today was no different.

"She's the descendant of two of the most famous magical families, it's surprising a girl that normally looks like an angel on earth can get that angry." A fourth years said.

"I hear she's been missing class lately." His friend said.

"I hear her fiancee is a descendant of a founder as well." A fifth year informed.

"Harry Potter, a descendant of a founder?" The first asked.

"Yeah, that's not all, the Potter family are in possession of the original Cloak of Invisibility." The fifth year said.

"Is it true?" The second asked.

"I don't know,it hasn't been confirmed but Ron Weasley let slip he saw it and then ran for his life when Potter came around the corner." He said.

After breakfast yet again Lyra was missing from classes and not only her but Snape wasn't there for the class and instead Professor Flitwick would pop in to check on us while we went over our notes.

It was that night when Snape came in with a sleeping Lyra , after moving into Godric Gryffindor's chambers hidden behind a portrait of Arcana Slytherin, Salazar's granddaughter, a corridor away from the Gryffindor common room, Lyra had made sure we told Professor McGonagal where it was and she'd promised to inform us if someone needed us. Snape set her down on her bed and looked at me.

"Well Mister Potter you look relieved." He stated.

"I am she hasn't been to class and didn't come here and it scared me." I said.

"Well she's been sick and I've been taking care of her, I think Argus has grown to like her, first thing he and Peeves agree on." He said with a smirk.

"How she got Peeves to like her I'll never know." I said.

"I still don't understand either." He said in reply.

The next morning Kayla received a copy of the Prophet from Sirius with the warning, watch out for you and your sister, on it a large photograph of Dolores Umbridge, smiling widely and blinking slowly at them from beneath the headline.

MINISTRY SEEKS EDUCATIONAL REFORM

DOLORES UMBRIDGE APPOINTED

FIRST EVER HIGH INQUISITOR

"Umbridge - "High Inquisitor"?" Lyra said darkly, her half-eaten apple slipping from her fingers. "What does that mean?"

Kayla read aloud: "In a surprise move last night the Ministry of Magic passed new legislation giving itself an unprecedented level of control at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"The Minister has been growing uneasy about goings-on at Hogwarts for some time," said Junior Assistant to the Minister, Percy Weasley. "He is now responding to concerns, voiced by anxious parents, who feel the school may be moving in a direction they do not approve of. This is not the first time in recent weeks that the Minister, Cornelius Fudge, has used new laws to effect improvements at the wizarding school. As recently as 30th August, Educational Decree Number Twenty-two was passed, to ensure that, in the event of the current Headmaster being unable to provide a candidate for a teaching post, the Ministry should select an appropriate 's how Dolores Umbridge came to be appointed to the teaching staff at Hogwarts," said Weasley last night. "Dumbledore couldn't find anyone so the Minister put in Umbridge, though her only obstacle is the descendant of Salazar Sletherin, himself, who believes the Ministry's plan is an insult to her family and that of the other founders"

"Good she's been knocked down a peg." I said loudly.

"Wait, there's more," Lyra said.

""-Umbridge immediately requested we find out more about the young descendant to find a way to placate her and we will soon find one. This Educational Decree is the last function that the Ministry has now formalized with the passing of Educational Decree Number Twenty-three, which creates the new position of Hogwarts High Inquisitor. This is an exciting new phase in the Minister's plan to get to grips with what some are calling the falling standards at Hogwarts," said Weasley. "The Inquisitor will have powers to inspect her fellow educators and make sure that they are coming up to scratch. Professor Umbridge has been offered this position in addition to her own teaching post and we are delighted to say that she has accepted. The Ministry's new moves have received enthusiastic support from parents of students at Hogwarts."

She paused for breath, ""I feel much easier in my mind now that I know Dumbledore is being subjected to fair and objective evaluation," said Mr Lucius Malfoy, 41, speaking from his Wiltshire mansion last night. "Many of us with our children's best interests at heart have been concerned about some of Dumbledore's eccentric decisions in the last few years and are glad to know that the Ministry is keeping an eye on the situation."

"Among those eccentric decisions are undoubtedly the controversial staff appointments previously described in this newspaper, which have included the employment of werewolf Remus Lupin, half-giant Rubeus Hagrid and delusional ex-Auror, "Mad-Eye" Moody. Rumours abound, of course, that Albus Dumbledore, once Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards and Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, is no longer up to the task of managing the prestigious school of Hogwarts."

"Lyra, what's this?" I asked and we looked on the second page.

"It was yesterday morning that we were given a list of questions asked to Lyra Celeste Black, 16, daughter of deceased Death Eater, Regulus Arcturus Black and Aurora Amethyst Black (nee LeFay), adopted daughter of her uncle Sirius Orion Black through blood ritual, and current Head of the Slytherin and LeFay houses, by her godfather, Severus Tobias Snape." Lyra read confused.

"Question number 1. "What is your opinion of the Ministry's current ideas for Defense Against The Dark Arts classes?" Her reply was, "It is a insult not only to my ancestor and his friends as well as students, teachers, and parents, it's pointless and not to mention we learn very little." Question number 2 "How is Umbridge as a teacher?" Her answer, "Incompetent, she believes herself to be a good teacher but three things stop this, her attitude, her methods, and her inability to answer questions asked and to let her students finish answering her own questions." Question number three "What do you like about Umbridge?" Her retort "Nothing, she is a nightmare, I especially hate her attitude towards half-breeds, she looks down on anything nonhuman when she herself doesn't count as one, she was against Professor Lupin due to his status as a werewolf even though he was competent from what I was told by the other students, in fact he had you take over his classes when the full moon came around, then there is Rubeus Hagrid, from what my fiancee and his friends and even the teachers have told me he's a kind man who does his job well and he even welcomes anyone who wishes to visit him, her stances toward anything nonhuman is repulsive, she herself is more inhuman than even the darkest and most evil creatures and on top of that she's untrustworthy and should stop with that obviously fake sweet tone she uses as it only adds to her repulsiveness" the final question asked brought our attention to a maximum and won many hearts among the writers of this paper "How do you feel about what the Daily Prophet is writing about Harry Potter?" Her reply was this,"I feel bad about it the Prophet is a good paper but at the current time they can barely choose what to write about with the Minister wanting to discredit Harry and Dumbledore, even though I don't particularly like Dumbledore, I don't like that my fiancee being discredited because the Minister fears a man many believed didn't have enough mortality to die and even preventing learning for fear of a nonexistent army, if I'm honest I like Harry, he's kind, gentle, and isn't afraid to tell me the truth, so far I've never felt happier than when I'm around him." Please note all this was ask while she was sick and under a small dose of veritaserum With that we bid you a good day." She finished.

So Professor Snape let his Slytherin side run wild and snuck the truth into the Daily Prophet as well as helped stopped the Ministry.
