…I don't have anything to say actually…..

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Get it out!" Ginny shrieked, her hands wilding pulling at her hair.

"Then stand still!" I yelled back, as I tried to untangle the Doxy that had become entangled in her red hair.

The bloody little fairy kept biting my fingers though as I tried to capture it, making the task even harder.

"Ow!" Ginny screamed as the fairy kept clawing at her scalp.

Finally my hands enclosed around the struggling creature and I ripped it from Ginny's hair. But the little snot wiggled out of my grasp and clambered towards my face, claws extended.

"Bloody fairy!" I shouted, stumbling backwards to try to avoid it.

I tripped over a pile of old books lying around and crashed to the floor. I didn't even think, I grabbed one of the books and swung it forward towards the Doxy.

A satisfying smack sounded and I watched the little monster hit the wall that was opposite to me. It fell and twitched twice on the ground before staying still.

"And the crowd goes wild!" George shouted making the sound of a cheering crowd while Fred hooted loudly beside him.

"I think it broke the skin!" Ginny said frantically, "I probably have rabies now!"

I watched exasperatedly from my place on the floor as the youngest Weasley went running out of the room. Hermione trailed after her, "Ginny, you can't get rabies from a Doxy!"

I shook my head at the door they had left through before turning back towards the Weasley twins. Only they weren't sitting on the couch anymore. I looked to see them crouched over by the wall the Doxy had hit. Then I saw one of them pick up the unconscious creature and put it in a small box.

Oh bloody hell.

"What are you doing?!"

"We need something to experiment with!" They defended, speaking at the same time.

I moaned and rubbed my temple.

"I hate my life," I mumbled.

It had been hours since we had first started to remove the Doxies from the drapes in the drawing room. I had no idea how many problems this house had.

"How's it going in here?" Molly asked, her head popping in from the door frame.

She gave me a puzzled look when she spotted me, "What are you doing on the floor? We have work to do Rigel! Get up and get to work! Those Doxy aren't going to rid themselves!"

She left without another word.

I picked up my previous book and began to repeatedly hit my head against it.

"Do you figure she's having a meltdown?" I heard the twins talking.

"Naw, everyone knows she cracked years ago," One replied, "She's probably just having a relapse."

"I'm a professor now," I grumbled loud enough for them to hear, "And I won't hesitate to find a reason to give you both detentions for a whole year."

"Okay then…" Fred said slowly and I saw them carefully head for the door.

"Scratch meltdown," George whispered as they reached the doorway, "I think it's just PMS."

"You said it mate,"

"That's right, and it stands for 'Potential Murder Suspect'." I said darkly.

They stopped talking.

I heard their retreating footsteps and let out another sigh.

"Scaring the children already?" A new voice asked.

I narrowed my eyes as I saw Wood smirking down at me.

"When did you get here?" I asked, ignoring his previous statement.

"Ten minutes ago," He replied, coming into the room fully and offering me a hand up off the floor.

I took his hand and he pulled me to my feet.

"Thanks,"

"No problem,"

I brushed myself off and looked around the room. The drapes were still moving due to the Doxies in them and I wrinkled my nose in distaste.

"One of those days huh?" Oliver asked.

I looked up at his face, "What do you mean?"

He rolled his eyes at me, "Rigel, you have a look on your face that rivals Mad-Eye's usual expression."

Great, now I look like Moody.

"I'm fine, just tired." I answered bending down to pick up the books I had tripped on.

"Well-"

"What's going on?" Harry's voice interrupted and I turned to see him and Ron.

Well, wasn't this room popular today.

"We heard screaming from all the way upstairs," Ron said, eagerly looking around the room for some excitement.

"You missed it, if you want details, ask your sister." I stated, not wanting to start another conversation.

Ron groaned in annoyance, "I miss everything."

"Oliver?" Harry asked, as I carried the books over to an empty shelf, "I didn't know you were in the Order."

"Dumbledore knew that I believed everything going on," Wood explained easily, "So he recruited me."

"I put in a good word for you." I injected simply, as I placed each book.

"Yes, thank-you for reminding me that Dumbledore wouldn't have asked me to join without you."

"You're welcome love."

Then, yet another head popped in through the door-way. Tonks.

"Lunch is ready," She informed us.

"Finally," Ron exclaimed, making a bee-line for the exit.

I nodded in agreement but halted when I heard a familiar hissing noise from behind me.

Doxies. They only made that noise when they were about to attack.

"Everyone move it!" I ordered, as I pushed Oliver towards the door quickly.

The others knew from my voice that I meant business and they hurried out of the room. Oliver and I just made it into the hallway when a Doxy let out a screech. I saw it come barreling towards us and I slammed the big wooden doors to the drawing room just in time.

Bloody Doxies.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Where is my wand?" I questioned as I came back to the table to find it missing, "I just put it down. Someone cough it up or they'll be coughing up blood instead."

"Geez," Fred muttered as he slid my wand back across the table to me, "Have a nice cup of homicidal thoughts this morning, did we?"

"As usual," George added.

I barely paid attention to them as I checked my bag to see if I had gotten the last of my personal items, "I'm not in the mood for this, guys."

"Not in the mood for what, dear?" Molly asked as she came into the kitchen, carrying some groceries she must have just bought.

"Nothing," I replied absent mindedly as I shouldered my bag and placed my wand in my back pocket.

"Don't put it there!" Mad-Eye barked roughly as he came into the kitchen, "Do you know how many wizards lose their backsides because of that mistake!? No common sense these days I tell you! None!"

I heaved out a sigh and grabbed my wand again, dropping it in my bag instead. Giving Moody a look that clearly asked, 'happy'?

He narrowed his eyes at me.

"Who do you know who have lost their butt because of that?" Tonks questioned curiously as she also entered.

"Never mind it, Tonks!" He replied sharply and he clunked down at the table.

I need to get out of this house.

"Morning," Remus greeted warmly, taking a seat beside Moody.

I mumbled a half felt welcome and asked Molly where the coffee was.

"There's a cup right here for you dear," She replied, placing a mug in front of me, "Now, Rigel, do you have everything ready?"

I took a sip of the coffee before nodding my head to her, "Yeah, everything's set, I'll leave for Hogsmeade in an hour or so."

"Good, good." She said before she got a wistful look, "Hogwarts. I must admit though, that I had hoped you would be in Romania by this time."

I mentally groaned. Here comes another guilt trip.

Ever since Molly found out about Charlie and I splitting, she would give me these looks that just spelled out her disappointment. Honestly, I was just thankful she wasn't mad at me.

"Your children would have been beautiful," She commented, looking off into space.

I choked on my coffee.

"You alright there, Rigel?" Dad asked as he also wandered in.

"Fine," I wheezed, trying to expel the liquid from my lungs, "You know, I think I'm going to go to Hogsmeade a bit earlier."

Dad raised an eyebrow, "Earlier?"

"Yeah," I nodded as I saw Molly with her thinking expression again, "As in right now."

I set down my mug and stepped forward to embrace my father.

"I'll see you for the meeting next week," I said as his arms came around me, "Don't kill Kreacher while I'm gone."

"I'll try," He said wirily.

I gave a small laugh and then backed away.

"Aren't you going to stay for breakfast?" Molly asked me.

"No I'm good, I usually don't eat breakfast anyway," I replied quickly, "I'm not much of a morning person."

"Or people person," The twins mumbled.

I shot them a look before grabbing my cloak and wrapping it around my shoulders. As I left the kitchen I kissed my father's cheek while giving him a small side hug.

"I love you, Dad." I said and then went for the exit, "Bye everyone."

A chorus of good-byes followed after me before I left Grimmauld and apparated.

Hogwarts, here I come.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

I stared blankly as the pink covered witch came to sit back down at the table. She had just finished giving a speech to the entire school about who knows what. But I got the jiff; the Minister was keeping an eye on Hogwarts.

This 'Professor Umbridge', was a real tart. She was like a fuzzy pink toad that was so fake it gave the muggle Barbie a run for its money. I didn't have time to ponder all this though as Dumbledore began to speak again.

"Thank-you Professor Umbridge for that enlightening speech," He said politely, before turning back to the students, "Now, as you can see, we are very honoured to have Professor Umbridge as our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Also, I would ask that you welcome back Professor Grubbly-Plank, who will be filling in for Care of Magical Creatures, and Madam Black who is replacing Madam Hooch as Flying Instructor. I hope you all make them feel very welcomed here."

A short applause went through the Great Hall before Dumbledore silenced them again, "As always, Mr. Filch has requested-"

I stopped listening when I saw Umbridge writing something down on a notepad. What could she possibly be taking notes of?

A strange feeling settled in my stomach.

This was going to be yet another weird year at Hogwarts.

And a long one at that.

Reviewer Question:

Book..Freak 112233: Thank-you for understanding. As to your question, since I've already come this far, I figure I'll probably go all the way to Deathly Hallows with this. I might skip quite a bit of the Half Blood Prince, but I'm not quite sure yet though. Thanks for reviewing. :)
