Chapter 21 - The High Inquisitor

They were all sitting at breakfast. Hermione gave the Great Hall another glance as she searched for Harry. Ron shoved another sausage down his throat as Adie talked to Ginny across the table. Hermione scoffed.

"Do you ever stop eating?"

Ron looked up from the brochure he was reading, his mouth stuffed full.

"What? I'm hungry!"

Adie nudged her friend when she saw Harry walking up to them. He looked cold, but then again winter was definitely on the way. She gave him a gentle smile as he stopped in front of them.

"Harry."

He looked down at his feet, then back up again.

"Can I join you?"

They never answered as, in an instant, there seemed to be a commotion going on outside the doors. They all turned their heads at the sound of Professors Umbridge and McGonagall. Adie was the first to run out and see what was happening. She frowned at the sight of a pink faced Umbridge, though she now matched from head to toe, and a flustered, rattled McGonagall.

"I am merely requesting that, when it comes to my students, you conform to the prescribed disciplinary practices!"

Adie whispered to Harry.

"What on earth are these two rambling about?"

Her friend shrugged as Dolores took a step up.

"So silly of me, but it sounds as if you're questioning my authority in my own classroom, Minerva."

McGonagall matched her by taking another step. People were now beginning to fill the entrance as the two teachers quarrelled.

"Not at all, Dolores. Mainly your medieval methods."

"I'm sorry dear, but to question my practices is to question the Ministry. And, by further extension, the Minister himself. I am a tolerant woman, but the one thing I won't stand for is disloyalty!"

The head of Gryffindor went down a step, defeated.

"Disloyalty..."

Professor Umbridge took another step up. She addressed the gathered crowd.

"Things at Hogwarts, are far worse than I feared. Cornelius will want to take immediate action!"

And, from that moment on, Umbridge was made the High Inquisitor of Hogwarts. It was her "job" to find out about the serious falling standards of the school...or so Fudge said in the Daily Prophet. She patrolled the corridors like a pink sniffer dog. Harry compared her to his Uncle's sisters dog; Ripper.

Adie was smirking as the pink panther waved her wand and caused a snogging couple to fly apart. Fred lent, out of nowhere, and whispered.

"Not your sort of thing?"

She glanced at George, who was pretending to lean casually against a suit of armour, before answering.

"Dunno...it just looks wrong!"

Umbridge even began to stalk the classrooms. She'd pop up when teachers didn't expect it and question them throughout the lesson. Poor Trelawny got it hard according to Ron and Harry. The best teacher reaction came from Snape.

"You applied first for the Defence Against the Dark Arts post, is that correct?"

"Yes."

"Bur you were unsuccessful?"

He looked as if he was refraining from rolling his eyes. Ron and Harry snorted whilst Adie choked back a giggle.

"Obviously."

That earned them all a smack round the head.

Fred and George certainly began to hate her a lot more. Everyone was watching them as they played with a small firework, tossing it to each other, and then she appeared and trapped it in George's pocket. This earned the banning of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, alongside a great many other things.

Adie stood in the hall, with Ginny, as Filch looked around, swinging the ladder on his shoulder. The caretaker swung it around before vanishing. Fred ducked whilst George lent back. He toppled into the blonde a little.

"Oops sorry."

"That's alright, ok, positively normal, fine...okay I'm rambling!"

He chuckled as her cheeks flushed pink and she hid behind her hair, embarrassed. George looked at his friend.

"Uh Adie...there was something that I..."

He was distracted as people began to flood out of the school and into the courtyard. Adie followed alongside him, a quizzical look on her face.

"What's happening?"

"I don't know."

George tried to peer over the crowds, but neither of them could see. He grabbed Adie's hand, ignoring the pink filling his cheeks, and shoved through. They managed to find a break, Ron, Harry and Hermione close by, and gasped at what they saw. Professor Trelawny was huddled over her bags, sobbing as Umbridge walked briskly towards her. The Divination teacher looked pleasingly at her.

"Si...sixteen years I've lived and taught here...Hogwarts is my home..."

Her voice wavered and grew hysterical. Adie tightened her hold on George's hand as anger filled her.

"You can't do this..."

The pink devil held up a sheet of parchment.

"Actually, I can."

Trelawny broke into sobs and Professor McGonagall ran out to her. She hugged her friend tightly.

"Something you'd like to say?"

McGonagall glared.

"Oh there are several things I would like to say! Shhh shhh.."

Suddenly the doors were wrenched open and there stood, Dumbledore. He marched down into the scene.

"Minerva, might I ask you to escort Sybil back inside?"

The crying professor clutched Dumbledore's hand and thanked him. Umbridge looked positively annoyed.

"Dumbledore, may I remind you that under the terms of Educational Decree Number 23, as enacted by the Minister..."

"You have the right to dismiss my teachers. You do not, however, have the authority to banish them fro the grounds. That power still remains with the headmaster."

"For now."

George whispered.

"Bet that's the next rule up."

Adie grinned a little and tilted her head. Her hair brushed George's cheek and they both froze. Dumbledore's voice cut through the tension

"Don't you all have studying to do?!"

And with that he stormed off. Adie quickly legged it, nearly knocking over Harry, back to the common room, leaving a very dazed Mr Weasley behind her.

Her friends joined her later, once her mind had drifted, and it was then that the talk turned to rebelling against the pinkness!
